Compartment syndrome and collagen structure

Authors' objectives: To investigate what is the role, if any, of collagen structure or anatomy in the ongoing chronic tightness or chronic compartment syndrome.
Authors' results and conclusions: Upon examination on the titles and abstracts of 1156 published studies from all searches, fifteen studies were thought to be relevant and were retrieved in full for further appraisal. Unfortunately, a full examination on these fifteen studies did not provide any information regarding the specific anatomical role or collagen structure especially on the impact of collagen toward symptoms of compartment syndrome (and potential physiotherapy treatment associated with it) beyond our common understanding of compartment syndrome. At present, there is no published study to support the impact of collagen structure in ongoing chronic tightness or chronic compartment syndrome. At present, it is not clear, what role if any, is there on “treating” collagen in association with ongoing chronic tightness or chronic compartment syndrome.
Authors' methods: A comprehensive and systematic literature search was done on October 21, 2024. • The search was done on commercial medical literature databases employing a combination of key words. No limitation, such as on the date or language of publication was implemented in any of these searches. A manual search was also planned and conducted on the references of the articles that were retrieved in full
