Overview
Various risk factors are known to be related to CS.
Risk Factors
Totally there can be several risk factors for the occurrence and progression of CS[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]:
- Age: Younger patients are more prone to get CS than elderly cases.
- Gender: Males are ten times more prone to develop CS than females.
- Type of injury
- Site of injury
- Burns to the limb
- Blunt to the limb
- Crushing trauma to the limb
- Excessive exercise or nonroutine physical activity
- Nonaccidental causes like medical conditions include
- Nephrotic syndrome
- Viral myositis
- Hypothyroidism
- Bleeding disorders
- Malignancies
- Diabetes mellitus
On the other hand in there can be another classification for the risk factor of CS:
The primary risk factors of Acute Compartment Syndrome:
- A crushing injury to the extremity
- Wearing too tight, a bandage or cast
- Participation in any rough or high-impact sport
- Consumption of anticoagulants, which increases the risk of bleeding within a compartment
- Individuals with a bleeding disorder, such as hemophilia
The primary risk factors of Chronic (Exertional) Compartment Syndrome:
- Athletes, younger than 30 years
- Consumption of anabolic steroids or the supplement creatine
- Any sport or physical activity that involves repetitive motions, such as running or fast-walking
