Amanda L. Johnson, David R. Maish, Michael Darowish

Abstract

Anatomically, the forearm has been shown to have a superficial and deep volar compartment, a pronator quadratus compartment [3], a dorsal compartment, and a compartment containing the mobile wad [1]. There are no reports in the literature of the EDC presenting with an isolated compartment syndrome without involving the other muscles in the dorsal compartment.
