Overview
Like the most of medical conditions, the CS has an interesting historical perspective form the first descriptions to the categorized sign and symptoms and diagnostic systems [1][2][3].
Historical Respective
In 1872, Richard von Volkmann described the consequences of unchecked rising intracompartmental pressures in a publication which nowdays is known as the Volkmann contracture.
In 1912, Wilson described the initial case of exertional compartment syndrome.
In 1926, Jepson described ischemic contractures in dog hind legs caused by limb hypertension after experimentally induced venous obstruction.
In 1956, Mavor reported a case of chronic compartment syndrome.
In 1941, Bywaters and Beall reported the effect of crush injury while working with victims of the London Blitz and revealed mechanisms and consequences of compartment syndrome.
In 1970, the importance of measuring intracompartmental pressures became apparent.
In 1979, Owen et al described the use of the wick catheter for pressure measurement and then documented high compartmental pressures in various circumstances.
