Abstract
We report a rare case of compartment syndrome in a 29-year-old athlete following elbow dislocation. Five hours after orthopaedic reduction. Surgical decompression by fasciotomies of the volar and dorsal compartments of the forearm is performed. There was a complete disappearance of symptoms during the clinical monitoring. In conclusion, this article highlights the importance of the clinical suspicion of compartment syndrome following a dislocation of the elbow, which is often underestimated.
