Chronic exertional compartment syndrome (CECS) is a well-recognized cause of leg pain in endurance athletes. Surgical fasciotomy for posterior leg CECS historically has inferior clinical results compared with anterior and lateral compartment release. Poor surgical technique with inadequate release may contribute to less reliable outcomes. In this Technical Note with accompanying video, we describe a mini-open approach for posterior CECS of the leg.
