Sudden revascularization of an ischemic limb may be followed by the onset of the anterior tibial syndrome. Five cases are reported in which this syndrome occurred following successful revascularization, four of them requiring fasciotomy. The “reopening syndrome” may on rare occasions follow revascularization, and the causes and treatment of this phenomenon are discussed.
