THE PATHOGENESIS OF ANTERIOR TIBIAL SYNDROME

An illustrative Case

David F. Paton 1

1 Whittington Hospital, London; England

1. A case of hernia of the anterior tibial muscles is described in which repair of the hernia under tension was followed by local muscle necrosis and contracture.

2. This case supports the theory of pathogenesis of the anterior tibial syndrome that increased tension in the compartment embarrasses the blood supply of the contained muscles.
