AB Compartment  syndrome  develops  as  the  result  of  increased  pressure  within  the  confines  of  a  fixed  space.  This  may  occur  in  the  extremities  as  the  result  of  ischemia,  trauma,  or  burn  injuries.  Management  involves  not  only  the  treatment  of  the  underlying  pathology,  but  also  the  physical  release  of  the  compartment  to  prevent  further  damage  due  to  impaired  capillary  perfusion  and  increased  venous  resistance.
