ClinConnect Summary
Acute compartment syndrome is associated with infection, contractures, fracture non-union, and chronic pain syndromes. The most common cause of acute compartment syndrome is fracture. Individuals with compartment syndrome associated with a lower extremity fracture have demonstrated worse patient reported outcome scores compared to individuals who suffer lower extremity fractures alone.
The pathophysiology of compartment syndrome has been traditionally described as loss of tissue perfusion and subsequent cellular anoxia related to supra-physiologic pressure within a closed myofascial space....
