Summary

Compartment syndrome (CS) is a serious complication of soft-tissue injuries in patients with fractures of the musculoskeletal apparatus. CS is defined as a condition, during which an increased tissue pressure inside an enclosed compartment damages the microcirculation and neuromuscular function of the tissue, and results in ischemization, with a damage of nerve-muscle structures, which lead either to extensive flexion contractures, or myonecroses, with the need to perform an early amputation of the affected limb. In traumatology, compartment syndrome is most frequently observed in a patient with crural fractures, closed as well as open fractures, or in cases of crus laceration.

Conditions
