Fig. 5H 75-year-old man with remote history of tibia fracture in his
teenage years. Patient was referred to rule out soft-tissue sarcoma.
Diagrammatic illustration of ischemia after poorly managed compartment
syndrome leads to extensive necrosis, fibrosis, and loss of function indicated
by atrophy of musculature. In rare cases, dystrophic calcification
(arrowhead) and liquefaction, which comprise entity called calcific
myonecrosis, occur as late sequelae. Cystic lobulated component
(asterisk) may cause chronic pressure erosion (arrow) of
adjacent bone (tibia).
