Abstract
Compartment syndrome of hand in children is usually associated with compartment syndrome of fore arm and arm due to many etiological factors like supra condylar fracture of the humerus, floating elbow, crush injury , vascular injury and iatrogenic factors. Isolated compartment syndrome of hand without fore arm involvement is rare but serious condition and is still rarer in children. Diagnosis can be missed in children as 5P’s of compartment syndrome seen in adults is seen much later in children and is preceded by 3A’s [increase in anxiety, increase in agitation and need of increased dose of analgesics]. We reviewed isolated compartment syndrome of hand in children regarding aetiology, diagnosis, anatomy of compartments and surgical decompression and outcome.
