There is no accepted time for a complication to be considered ‘early’, but the term is usually applied to complications that occur during the acute phase of treatment.

Compartments:
Closed area of muscles group, nerves & blood veseles surrounded
by fascia
What is a compartment?
Muscles are arranged in different compartments and surrounded by one fascia , this arrangement called osteofascial compartment.

Decrease compartment sizeIncrease compartment contents
Any condition that reduces the volume of a compartment or increases the content of a compartment can lead to an acute compartment syndrome

Vicious circle :Compartment syndrome :
Fracture of the arm and leg can give rise to severe ischemia even if there is no damage to major vessel. Bleeding or edema will increase the pressure within one of the osteofascial compartments, this lead to decrease in capillary blood flow which in turn leads to muscle ischemia, further edema, still greater pressure, and yet more profound ischemia….vicious circle.
![Page 24: Compartment syndrome](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020218/55a9751a1a28abd22a8b485a/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Compartmental syndrome may lead to
the Volkmann's ischaemia:
![Page 25: Compartment syndrome](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020218/55a9751a1a28abd22a8b485a/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
After 12 hours or less, this vicious circle ends in necrosis of nerves and muscles within the compartment.Nerve are capable of regeneration, but the muscle once infarcted can never recover and are replaced by fibrous tissue. This condition is called volkmann s ischemic contracture.

Conclusion:Compartment syndrome is a serious syndrome, which needs to be diagnosed early.Palpable pulse doesn’ t exclude compartment syndromeIf diagnosis and fasciotomy were done within 24 hrs, the prognosis is good.If delayed, complications will develop.
