A mortality rate of 47% has been reported for acute compartment<unk>  of the thigh. According to one study the rate of fasciotomy for acute compartment<unk>  varied from 2% to 24%. This is due to uncertainty and differences in labeling a condition as acute compartment<unk> . The most significant prognostic factor in people with acute compartment<unk>  is time to diagnosis and subsequent fasciotomy. In people with a missed or late diagnosis of acute compartment<unk> , limb amputation may be necessary for survival. Following a fasciotomy, some symptoms may be permanent depending on factors such as which compartment, time until fasciotomy, and muscle necrosis. Muscle necrosis can occur quickly, within 3 hours of original injury in some studies. Fasciotomy of the lateral compartment of the leg may lead to symptoms due to the nerves and muscles in that compartment. These may include foot drop, numbness along leg, numbness of big toe, pain, and loss of foot eversion.
