Abstract

1. Abstract
We present a case report of a 38-year-old male who underwent uneventful intramedullary fixation of a tibial diaphysis fracture with appropriate post-operative monitoring. He presented nearly two weeks after fixation to the clinic with new increasing pain, and was found to have objective and subjective symptoms consistent with compartment syndrome. While he was adequately treated for compartment syndrome, his case demonstrates the need for high suspicion when appropriate symptoms present.
