Trial summary

Acute compartment syndrome (ACS) is defined as a clinical entity originated from trauma or other conditions, and remains challenging to diagnose and treat effectively. Threre is the controversy in diagnosing, treating ACS. It was found that there was no criterion about the ACS, and result unnecessary osteotomy. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Acute Compartment Syndrome

Acute compartment syndrome (ACS) is defined as a clinical entity originated from trauma or other conditions, and remains challenging to diagnose and treat effectively. Threre is the controversy in diagnosing, treating ACS. It was found that there was no criterion about the ACS, and result unnecessary osteotomy. The presence of clinical assessment (5P) always means the necrosis of muscles and was the most serious or irreversible stage of ACS. Besides pressure methods, the threshold of pressure identifying ACS was also controversial.

Being tested
fasciotomy

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • fasciotomyProcedure or surgery

    if it was suspected with ACS, the fasciotomy was conducted. but if the blister observed, it means decreased conmpartment sydrome. therefore, the blister observed can avoid unnecessary fasciotomy to patients suspected with ACS

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. injury mechanism

    The relative data was collected about injury mechanism such as high falling accident, traffic accident, fall from standing height,Crushing

    Measured: up to 1 weeks

  2. the time when the blister appeared

    The relative data was collected about the time when the blister appeared after injury

    Measured: up to 4 weeks

  3. time to reconstructive surgery

    The relative data was collected about time to reconstructive surgery

    Measured: time to when the surgery was conducted after 2 weeks

  4. union time

    The relative data was collected about union time

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 year

  5. No non-anatomic gap or step (larger than 5 mm)

    The relative data was collected about complications

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 year

  6. secondary loss of reduction

    The relative data was collected about complications

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 year

  7. Deep venous thrombosis

    The relative data was collected about complications

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 year

  8. superficial wound problems

    The relative data was collected about complications

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 year

  9. blister skin immunochemistry and immunofluorescence analysis

    CK1, 5, 10, claudin 1, 2 and occludin as determined by immunochemistry analysis, and skin barrier proteins; claudin 1, 2 and occludin was determined by immunofluorescence analysis and qPCR.

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 year

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. CK levels

    CK levels

    Measured: through hospitalization completion, an average of 1 month

  2. chloride levels

    chloride levels

    Measured: through hospitalization completion, an average of 1 month

  3. UREA levels

    UREA levels

    Measured: through hospitalization completion, an average of 1 month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Acute Compartment Syndrome, run by Hebei Medical University Third Hospital at 1 site in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
