Abstract
Any process that increases intracompartmental pressure may precipitate compartment syndrome. We report the case of a patient with hypokalemia and hypophosphatemia who presented with compartment syndrome of the legs after a day of downhill skiing on moguls. The presentation is followed by a review of the pathophysiology, etiology, clinical presentation, and management of compartment syndrome, as well as the relationship between hypokalemia, hypophosphatemia, and the development of muscle injury.
