BACKGROUND: Acute @entity2054 , a surgical emergency, is defined as increased pressure in an osseofascial space. The resulting reduction of capillary perfusion to that compartment requires prompt fasciotomy. Treatment delay has a poor prognosis, and is associated with muscle and nerve @entity63 , resultant @entity1188 , and late-onset @entity1159 . OBJECTIVES: We report a case of traumatic bilateral upper limb acute @entity2054 associated with @entity21668 , requiring @entity341 . CASE REPORT: A 25-year-old male bodybuilder taking @entity21668 , with no past medical history, presented to the Emergency Department 25 min after a road traffic accident. Secondary survey confirmed injuries to both upper limbs with no distal @entity531 . Plain radiographs demonstrated bilateral metaphyseal fractures of the distal humeri. Within 2 h of the accident, the @entity1 developed clinical features that were consistent with bilateral upper arm @entity2054 . @entity1621 of both anterior and posterior compartments were performed, confirming clinical suspicion. CONCLUSION: We suggest consideration of a history of anabolic @entity134 use when evaluating @entity1 with extremity @entity130 .
