Schellenberg M, Chong V, Cone J, Keeley J, Inaba K. Surgical treatment is the most applied therapy, which seeks to decompress the affected compartments to improve local perfusion conditions and improve the prognosis of the lesion, the relationship between the time elapsed between the injury, diagnosis, and treatment being very important. In relation to complications, they are generally related to the delay or absence of early diagnosis, a situation that produces muscular and nervous alterations (sensory and/or motor), producing deformities, gait alterations, and even medical-legal problems. This type of injury occurs more frequently in male patients between 30 and 40 years of age, who are in good muscular condition and may be associated with high- or low-energy injuries. Compartment syndrome is one of the most feared complications, being more frequent at the level of the leg, in which almost 30% of these cases are related to a tibia fracture, and the frequency of presentation at the level of the foot is about 5% of the total body.
