Researchers from a recent study have found out that short-term ICP elevation was associated with long-term skeletal muscle recovery following tibial diaphyseal fracture, as published in the Journal of Orthopedics and Traumatology.

Due to the special anatomy of the lower leg, tibial diaphyseal fracture causes increased intracompartmental pressure (ICP). Not only is this increased ICP the manifestation of skeletal muscle injury, but it induces further deterioration of the injury.

Therefore, Shengjie Tian and colleagues from the Department of Orthopaedics, Yangpu Hospital, Tongji University School of Medicine, People's Republic of China and from the Department of Emergency Traumatic Surgery, Shanghai University of Medicine & Health Sciences Affiliated Zhoupu Hospital, Shanghai, China carried out the present study with the aim to assess the association between short-term ICP elevation and long-term skeletal muscle recovery after severe limb trauma.

In this single-center ambispective cohort study, the authors retrospectively screened and recruited a cohort of tibial diaphyseal fracture patients with integrated ICP data during the early post-traumatic period, and performed a prospective observational study to evaluate their skeletal muscle recovery through long-term follow-up and MR imaging after the removal of the implants.

The association between ICP elevation and skeletal muscle recovery was analyzed using statistical methods and the following key points were laid out-

  1. A total of 46 patients with healed fractures underwent intramedullary nail removal and MR imaging.
  2. The absolute values of the Pearson product-moment correlation coefficients between various ICP parameters and the cross-sectional area ratio (CSAR) ranged from 0.588 to 0.793, and the correlation coefficients between the ICP parameters and the average T2-weighted signal intensity ratio (T2SIR) varied from 0.566 to 0.775.
  3. Statistically significant associations were observed between the ICP parameters and the MR imaging parameters when simple linear regression analysis was performed.
  4. Among the ICP parameters, the accumulated ΔP (ΔP = diastolic blood pressure minus ICP) had the highest determination coefficient and explained 62.1% and 59.1% of the variance in CSAR and T2SIR, respectively.

Hence, the authors concluded that "short-term ICP elevation was associated with long-term skeletal muscle recovery, and that the accumulated ΔP, which accounts for both the ICP data and time, was the ICP parameter most closely associated with the recovery of skeletal muscle."

Firm conclusions such as the accumulated ΔP threshold for skeletal muscle recovery could not be drawn from this study due to its size, but the study can provide ideas and thoughts for future research, they further added.
