Background:To diagnose chronic anterior compartment syndrome (CACS) among patients with exercise-induced leg pain, intramuscular pressure (IMP) is regarded as the gold standard. Two recent studies have suggested that the evidence for commonly used IMP criteria are weak, and the validity has therefore come under question.
