Abstract
There has been no previous investigation into the association between compartment syndrome and delayed or nonunion of the tibia following fracture. To establish whether such an association might exist, a retrospective survey of the results of the treatment of closed and Grade I tibial fractures complicated by compartment syndrome was undertaken. The survey showed that there was a significant delay in fracture union in patients over 18 years of age, but not in younger patients.This publication has 20 references indexed in Scilit:
