Spanish term or phrase: no hay aumento de la señal de los mùsculos del compartimiento externo.
Buenas noches,

Necesito ayuda con esta parte. Es el informe de una RNM de rodilla: "Se observa una lesión en la fascia crural en contacto con el nervio peróneo común que no está engrosado. Como alternativa sugiero efectuar una neurosonografìa del nervio peróneo común, aunque no hay aumento de la señal de los músculos del compartimiento externo".

¡Muchas gracias!

there is no increase in the signal of the muscles of the lateral (external) compartment
Explanation:
There are three compartments of the knee in English, lateral, medial, and patellofemoral.

The lateral is that which is on the "outside" of the knee, i.e. the right side of the right knee, left side of the left knee.

This seems to make the most sense as the "external" compartment

agree  Neil Ashby: Except I don't think you need to change "external" to lateral, external is more precise.
4 hrs
  -> "external" is not one of the medical terms used for the three standard names for compartments of the knee

agree  liz askew: "lateral" is just fine, as opposed to "medial".

... causes pathological changes in all structures that make up the external compartment. ... of the role of **the supinator brevis muscle in the external compartment.**

Only one hit, but lost of references to the external - exertional - anterior compartment syndrome.
