Abstract

Trauma surgeons frequently encounter injured limbs at risk for compartment syndrome. This article reviews data regarding the pathophysiology of compartment syndrome, factors in measuring compartment pressures, thresholds for performing fasciotomies, and outcomes from the development of compartment syndromes and performing fasciotomies.
