Extremely high physical activity results in anatomic-functional discordance in muscle compartments of segments of extremities. It leads to compartment syndrome consisting in compromised microcirculation, blood plasma infiltration of intercellular space, increased subfascial pressure at the same time we see intraosseous microcirculation disturbance and pathological alterations of bone tissue (hyperostosis, pathological reorganization, fractures), muscles, nerves and fasciae, that is confirmed by morphological alterations. Facsiotomy is of pathogenetic nature in patients with this pathology. Connective tissue replaces the site subjected to facsiotomy thus enabling to extend muscle compartment, normalizing in them intracompartment pressure under exercise stress, improving muscles, nerves, bones microcirculation, that enables elimination of anatomic-functional discordance of blood circulation and size of a muscle compartment under physical load and speeds up reparative processes in bones.
