What is Compartment Syndrome?
The muscles in your limbs and abdomen are protected and held in place by nonflexible tissue called fascia. Compartment syndrome is a condition in which the individual muscles (or groups of muscles) swell excessively within a single compartment. Because fascia is not flexible and cannot expand, the swelling places extreme pressure and restricts blood flow, which results in debilitating pain, loss of mobility, and eventual tissue death and loss of nerve function in the limb.
Treating acute compartment syndrome requires immediate surgical intervention to release the pressure. In fact, acute compartment syndrome is considered a medical emergency due to the fact that if it goes untreated it can eventually lead to a life-long disability, kidney damage, or even death. If you are diagnosed with compartment syndrome, then you will likely be rushed into surgery immediately. If your treatment is delayed, then your doctor may be acting negligent in their treatment of you.

How Compartment Syndrome Happens
Compartment syndrome is usually the result of physical trauma caused by some sort of accident. For example, you may find yourself suffering from compartment syndrome following an automobile accident, crush injury, or fall. The reason why these accidents are usually the culprits behind compartment syndrome is because in order for muscle to begin swelling, it often needs to be damaged first. Dangerous accidents can, and often do, lead to serious, compartment syndrome causing injuries, such as:
- Severely bruised muscles
- Fractures
- Crushed limbs
If you suffered a similar injury in an accident, you should be aware of the possibility of compartment syndrome eventually developing. It is in your best interest to be wary of the disorder, and keep your eyes peeled for the signs and symptoms.

Symptoms of Compartment Syndrome
After suffering an injury like a bone break or deep bruising, you should always be on the lookout for compartment syndrome. Catching the syndrome quickly is key to preventing long term issues. Unfortunately, compartment syndrome can be challenging to diagnose due to the pain of a primary injury (such as a fracture). The common symptoms associated with acute compartment syndrome include:
- A higher level of pain than would be typically expected from an injury
- Pain that increases when a muscle is moved or stretched
- A tingling or burning sensation in the muscle
- A feeling of pressure or fullness inside the limb or muscle
- Paralysis, numbness, and loss of basic nervous function
If the condition is diagnosed quickly and surgery performed, most patients can expect a full recovery. If the condition persists too long without surgery, the symptoms of acute compartment syndrome progressively worsen. If not treated quickly, the impacted tissue can die from a lack of blood flow, and victims can suffer total paralysis of a limb, or part of a limb.
