Lacertus syndrome: Use of pre- and post-exercise MRI to aid in diagnosis and treatment

Lacertus syndrome is a chronic exertional compartment syndrome of the forearm that is unlike exertional compartment syndrome of the lower extremity. It differs from traditional exertional compartment syndrome in terms of the anatomy, symptoms and physical exam findings. This is a case where dynamic...
