Neonatal Compression Ischaemia of the Forearm

A. TSUJINO
G. HOOPER

From the Princess Margaret Rose Orthopaedic Hospital, Edinburgh, UK

Correspondence: Mr G. Hooper, Hand Unit, St John’s Hospital, Livingston, West Lothian EH54 6PP, UK.

A case of neonatal compartment syndrome of the forearm is reported. The cause was thought to be compression during delivery. It not only caused muscle contractures but also affected bone growth. Conservative treatment was given. At the age of 6 years, the muscle contracture had recovered and there was full hand function, but there was growth arrest of the distal radial epiphysis and the affected forearm was shorter than the other.
