Abstract
Compartment syndrome is a condition in which the circulation and function of tissues within a closed space are compromised by increased pressure within that space. We report on the rare occurrence of compartment syndrome of the upper arm and deltoid in a professional power-lifter. This case stresses the importance of heightened awareness and expedient measures to prevent ischemic muscle necrosis and nerve injury.
