Biomarkers in the Diagnosis of Acute Compartment Syndrome (BioFACTS)
Biomarkers of Rhabdomyolysis in the Diagnosis of Acute Compartment Syndrome: Study Protocol of a Prospective Multinational, Multicentre Study in Patients With Tibial Fractures.

Intervention / Treatment
Detailed Description
Patients with a tibial fracture are included. P-myoglobin and P-creatine phosphokinase are analysed at 6-hourly intervals pre- and if applicable, postoperatively after surgical fixation or fasciotomy. Also, blood samples will be collected in 6 hourly intervals if acute compartment syndrome is suspected. An expert panel of senior orthopaedic surgeons will retrospectively assess study data and classify patients who had undergone fasciotomy into those with and without acute compartment syndrome.
Blood samples will also be collected in patients with acute compartment syndrome without tibial fractures, to serve as a positive control group.

What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Peak levels of P-myoglobin and P-creatine phosphokinase
Time Frame: Up to 5 days
|
A series of blood samples will be collected with 6-hourly interval at the following time-points:
Acute compartment syndrome: If suspicion of acute compartment syndrome emerges, blood samples will be collected with 6-hourly interval until fasciotomy is performed or the suspicion is written off. After fasciotomy, blood samples will be continued with 6-hourly interval for 24 hours. |
Up to 5 days
|
Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
MicroRNA
Time Frame: Up to 5 days
|
We also collect microRNA specific for muscle damage at the same time intervals and use it as an objective measures of muscle damage.
|
Up to 5 days
|
Histological evidence of muscle damage
Time Frame: At internal fixation and/or fasciotomy
|
At surgery (internal fixation or fasciotomy) biopsies are taken from tibialis anterior muscle in some centres for further histological analysis.
Two biopsies are taken from the fractured leg, one near the fracture and one at distance, and one biopsy from the uninjured leg (control).
Biopsies are frozen within 30 minutes using liquid nitrogen and isopentane and stored in minus 80 degrees Celsius.
|
At internal fixation and/or fasciotomy
