Ever noticed the long scars on MotoGP riders’ forearms?
It’s not from high-speed crashes - it’s from a procedure called fasciotomy.
When riders brake from extreme speeds, they grip the lever with massive force over and over during a race. This intense repetition causes the forearm muscles to swell, increasing pressure inside the arm and restricting blood flow - a condition known as arm pump.
To relieve that pressure and restore normal circulation, surgeons perform a fasciotomy - carefully releasing the tight tissue around the muscle.
That’s why many professional riders have long forearm scars.
