Abstract
Chronic exertional compartment syndrome is a leading source of lower-leg pain in young athletic populations, attributable to increased pressure within the musculofascial compartments. In-office needle endoscopic procedures are of growing interest for the diagnosis and treatment of various musculoskeletal pathologies. The benefits of such procedures include lower morbidity, faster postoperative recovery, improved patient satisfaction, and decreased cost compared with traditional endoscopy in the operating room setting. The purpose of this Technical Note is to demonstrate a technique for in-office needle endoscopic 4-compartment fasciotomy for lower-extremity chronic exertional compartment syndrome, including a discussion on the advantages of performing this procedure in the office setting, compared with a traditional operating room.
