商品簡介
In hopes that what is presented as the first comprehensive text on the subject will facilitate diagnosis and treatment of patients with compartment syndromes, Dr. Styf (orthopedic surgery U. of Goteborg, Sweden) defines compartment syndrome as a condition in which elevated intramuscular pressure impairs function in a delimited anatomical area (e.g., a leg or the abdomen). With the aid of b&w and color illustrations, he discusses the causes, pathophysiology, and symptoms of acute and chronic forms; complications; measurement of intramuscular pressure; and surgical and non-operative treatments.
