Abstract

The publication describes the case of positional compression syndrome of both hands and the forearm, which is rare in clinical practice. Fasciotomy cuts were made for the purpose of decompression of the affected areas. Also we applied vacuum therapy with negative pressure on the site of injury, which had a positive effect on healing of the wound. Based on this we can conclude that the use of vacuum therapy for the treatment of positional compression syndrome can stabilize the pathological process and prevent the development of local and systemic complications.
