Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
An arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament repair was followed by gas-gangrene and the development of a compartment syndrome. Treatment consisted of extensive fasciotomy, debridement, and antibiotic therapy with penicillin G, cefotiam, and metronidazole. The patient was also treated with five sessions of hyperbaric oxygen in a pressure chamber for a duration of 2 h per session. This therapeutic regimen resulted in the preservation of a functionally intact extremity despite severe complication. |
