Osteofascial compartment syndrome is a very serious complication of limb fractures. Its pathogenesis and pathophysiological changes have been studied clearly. Therefore, the measurement of intra fascial pressure has been the focus of clinical and scientific research workers. So far, there are many methods for detecting the pressure of fascia in clinic. There are two categories, one belongs to invasive methods, including the earliest Whiteside, Mubarak and its derivative methods, and the new methods of vertical water column pressure measurement and invasive arterial blood pressure monitoring in recent years. The second category is noninvasive manometric method, including the use of ultrasound, MRI, and CT near infrared spectroscopy imaging tool for intra-compartmental pressure use body pressure and blood oxygen content in vivo and quantitative determination of creatine kinase and other biochemical indicators to assess the degree of intra-compartmental pressure rise method. But each method has its own advantages as well as its own defects.This paper will summarize the current research status and the development.
