AbstractAcute compartment syndrome (ACS) is a known entity that most often occurs in the setting of trauma in both adult and pediatric patients. Fasciotomy remains the gold standard treatment for relieving intracompartmental pressures but is associated with significant complications. Significant variability exists regarding fasciotomy wound management and closure. We present the only known case report on use of circumferentially applied negative pressure wound therapy instill and dwell (NPWTi-d) followed by circumferentially applied closed incision negative pressure wound therapy (ciNPWT) for the soft tissue management of delayed ACS in a pediatric patient.Copyright © 2020, Lee et al.
