【 摘 要 】

Missed compartment syndrome is extremely rare, particularly in the upper limb, but the consequences can be disastrous [1–4]. Early recognition and treatment may prevent irreversible tissue damage. Established tissue injury, including Volkmann’s contracture, can present a major reconstructive surgical challenge. We present a case in which we reconstructed forearm soft tissue and bone defects due to sepsis and missed compartment syndrome after closed treatment of a paediatric Monteggia fracture-dislocation.
