ABSTRACT
CASE A 45-year-old man who sustained an open tibial shaft fracture treated with intramedullary (IM) nailing 9 years earlier presented with persistent pain and concern for occult infection. He underwent tibial nail removal and debridement with reamer-irrigator-aspirator. Postoperative course was complicated by acute compartment syndrome. CONCLUSION:
This is a unique case of postoperative compartment syndrome after IM debridement and tibial hardware removal. A high index of suspicion should be prioritized in patients who complain of severe or unexpected pain to mitigate delays in diagnosis and aid in early treatment.
