Popis: Ectopic calcification occurred in two patients as a late sequela of compartment syndrome. The clinical and roentgenographic appearance are sufficiently typical that the diagnosis should be made without difficulty. Leaving the wound open after incision and drainage of these lesions may lead to secondary infection. Closing the wound after decompression over suction drainage or needle decompression are treatment alternatives that may lead to more satisfactory results.
