Description

In this article, the authors reviewed several studies that investigated intracompartmental pressure monitoring (ICP) in diagnosing chronic exertional compartment syndrome (CESC) of the leg. They determined that while ICP, magnetic resonance imaging, and near-infrared spectroscopy seem to be useful in confirming the diagnosis of CECS, no standard diagnostic procedure is universally accepted.
