Acute compartment syndrome occurs when the tissue pressure within a closed muscle compartment exceeds the perfusion pressure and results in muscle and nerve ischemia. It typically occurs subsequent to a traumatic event, most commonly a fracture.
Patients with compartment syndrome will have an injury that is associated with limb edema. Patients who are awake and alert can accurately describe the pain and loss of function that is commonly associated with compartment syndromes (Table 2).
