MY01 Pressure Monitoring in Adolescent Tibia Fractures
Start Date
8/17/2026
Completion Date
6/1/2028
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn more about anterior leg compartment pressures in adolescents who have sustained tibia fractures. It will also examine whether measuring anterior compartment pressure helps physicians diagnose acute compartment syndrome (ACS), a rare but dangerous complication that can develop following surgical treatment of a tibia fracture. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Are there differences in anterior compartment pressures between healthy patients and patients who develop ACS? 2. Does compartment pressure monitoring aid physicians in accurately diagnosing ACS? Participants will have a continuous pressure monitoring sensor placed in their knee anterior knee compartment during their surgery. This sensor will record pressure data following a patient's surgical treatment for 18+ hours.
