Anterior compartment syndrome or chronic exertional compartment syndrome (CECS) is a condition that I never usually like seeing as it is difficult to manage and most would be better off having surgery. This is a problem that occurs to the expanding muscle in the tight fascial compartment of the leg. A recent study on forefoot striking and this condition has raised some interesting questions about how much evidence is needed to change clinical practice.

Should we transition all anterior compartment syndromes to forefoot striking?
