PY - 2016 T2 - Zollinger's Atlas of Surgical Operations, 10e 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.
