Last week, 30 Oregon high school football players came down with a rare
muscle condition called compartment syndrome.
This is pretty remarkable given that many doctors can go years even a
career without ever seeing someone with compartment syndrome. To have 30
boys develop it all at the same time in the same city is unheard of.
Compartment syndrome is usually caused by injury to muscle. It most
commonly occurs in the leg or forearm.
Muscles in the arms and legs are divided into sections or compartments
with borders made of strong, tough connective tissue. When injury leads to
severe swelling, the pressure has nowhere to go. As the pressure builds in
the muscle, it cuts off the blood supply, leading to death of the muscle
cells.
Pain is obviously intense.
The football team reportedly did an intense upper arm (triceps) workout
prior to developing compartment syndrome. The upper arm is not a common
place for this condition to occur as this area of the body is better able
to tolerate the increasing pressure.
