Abstract

A 14-year-old boy sustained a Salter Harris II fracture to his right distal tibia after a fall from his skateboard. He rapidly went on to develop the signs and symptoms of compartment syndrome, and he underwent emergency fasciotomy. This resulted in relief of his symptoms. After this procedure, his fracture was fixed with a single anteroposterior screw. He made a full and uncomplicated recovery, with no clinical or radiological evidence of epiphyseal growth arrest.
