The Impact of Prophylactic Fasciotomy Following Porcine (Sus scrofa) Hind Limb Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury

Abstract

Prophylactic fasciotomy has been used as an adjunct to alleviate the compartment syndrome after an ischemia reperfusion injury. It has been purposed that prophylactically treating compartment syndrome will improve neuromuscular recovery of the limb therefore improving functional limb outcome. The purpose of this study is to quantify the neuromuscular recovery of prophylactic fasciotomy in a porcine model of hind limb ischemia.
