Background: Exercise-induced compartment syndrome is a condition characterized by elevated pressure within a muscle compartment, resulting from repetitive loading or participation in sports activities. Primarily affecting the medial compartment of the foot, this rare condition manifests as sudden-onset pain in the medial aspect of the foot, without a discernible history of trauma, occurring during or after physical exertion. Diagnosis is primarily clinical in nature, as diagnostic imaging techniques provide limited utility. Conclusions: Exercise-induced compartment syndrome is a rare syndrome with prolonged implications such as contractures, claw toes, muscle weakness, and sensory neuropathy. Hence, it is imperative for orthopedic surgeons to be familiar with this condition in order to facilitate timely diagnosis and treatment. |
