Sommario/riassunto

Comprehensively addressing the topic of the compartment syndrome, this book covers all aspects of this painful and complex condition, ranging from the history to the pathophysiology and treatment in the various body compartments affected by the syndrome, as well as the short- and long-term outcomes. With an up-to-date literature review and the innovative content written by international opinion leaders, it offers all involved in the management of such complicated patients a much-needed source of reference. Discussing compartment syndrome in everyday practice, this book is of interest to surgeons, practicing physicians, anesthesiologists and nurses. .
