The proposed predictive model has moderate discriminative ability (AUC 0.66) and good calibration over the complete range of predicted probabilities. Thigh The thigh muscles are divided into three compartments invested by thick fascia: the anterior, medial, and posterior (Figures 10 and. Age, gender, bilateral symptoms, previous lower leg. Prevalence of CECS peaked around the age of 20-25 years and decreased thereafter, although a plateau around 50 years was found. Age, gender, bilateral symptoms, previous lower leg pathology, sports (running and skating) and tender muscle compartments were identified as independent predictors of lower leg CECS. Six hundred ninety-eight of 1411 individuals were diagnosed with CECS in one or more of three lower leg muscle compartments (anterior tibial, deep flexor, lateral).

Six hundred ninety-eight of 1411 individuals were diagnosed with CECS in one or more of three lower leg muscle compartments (anterior tibial, deep flexor, lateral). Patients were included if history and physical examination were suggestive of CECS and if they had undergone a dynamic intracompartmental pressure measurement. Charts of individuals who were analyzed for exercise-induced lower leg pain in a referral center between 20 were retrospectively studied. Our purpose was to describe a heterogeneous population of individuals suspected of lower leg CECS and to identify predictors of CECS. Patient characteristics may therefore not be appropriate for the general population. the neurovascular bundle is protected, lying between the tibialis posterior and the soleus - in the distal half of the tibia the deep posterior compartment. Knowledge about lower leg chronic exertional compartment syndrome (CECS) is largely obtained from highly selected populations.
