Abstract
A compartment syndrome is defined as a condition in which elevated tissue pressure exists within a closed fascial space, resulting in reduced capillary blood perfusion and compromised neuromuscular function. 1 Delee JC Drez D Orthopedic Sports Medicine. in: Saunders, Philadelphia, PA1994: 1612 Google Scholar Compartment syndromes may be acute or chronic. If unrecognized or left untreated, the condition can lead to devastating sequelae such as muscle contraction and loss of function of the involved extremity.
