Abstract
Compartment syndrome of the thigh is in itself a rarity because of the large size of the compartment and the relatively high compliance of the thigh which allows accommodation to volume changes due to hematoma or tissue edema. Most cases have been reported in association with impact trauma to the lower extremity or in association with crush syndrome. A previously unrecognized complication of total knee arthroplasty where an incipient compartment syndrome developed in the thigh extensor compartment is reported.
