Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Rhabdomyolysis can occur after overuse of or injury to any muscle. This results in cell membrane compromise and the escape of cellular contents into the extracellular fluid. After strenuous exercise, a small amount of rhabdomyolysis normally occurs but is usually self-limited and does not progress to compartment syndrome. Two cases diagnosed as supraspinatus compartment syndrome have been reported in the literature; however, the clinical presentation was similar to the two cases with rhabdomyolysis presented here.
