Peroneal compartment syndrome is uncommon, and only 5 cases have been recorded in the world's literatures. A 19 year-old man who suffered from this syndrome after the trainig of Rugby football is reported.He came to our clinic at fifth day of the onset, complaining severe pain on his left leg.At emergency operation, rupture of peroneus longus muscle and much bloody coagulation were observed in the distended compartment, and both peroneal muscles appeared to be severely ischemic and necrotic, so, total excision of the muscles was carried.In spite of the muscular defects, functional loss of his ankle joint is not remarkable.He have recovered so good as to play football since seven months after the surgery.
