Urgent four-compartment fasciotomy revealed that over 50% of peroneal and anterior compartment muscles were non-viable. which needed successive debridement procedures [Fig 2] and skin grafting for the wound closure
WLCS was initially reported in the literature by Leff et al in 1979 after a prolonged urological surgery where the patient developed bilateral anterior compartment syndrome postoperatively[2]
