Lower leg and forearm are the most frequently involved regions in acute compartment syndrome late decompression more than 8 h after onset of symptoms is associated with adverse long-term outcomes. Once the diagnosis is suspected and established, decompressive fasciotomy is mandated of all the compartments involved. The initial signs and symptoms (severe pain, paresthesia, swollen and hard at palpation muscles) should be promptly detected a measured pressure greater than 30 mmHg is thought to be a sensitive indicator for the diagnosis of acute compartment syndrome. The raise in intracompartmental pressure, secondary to congestion of microcirculation with extravasation of fluid in the interstitial space, produces ischemia to the whole content of the compartment (muscles, nerves, vessels). Acute compartment syndrome of the extremities can occur in every muscular region of upper or lower limbs it can be either traumatic or nontraumatic.
