Variable:CompartmentSyndrome
Description:

The muscle groups of the lower limb are organised into compartments bounded by strong, unyielding facial membranes. Compartment syndrome is a condition that occurs when an increase in the pressure within a muscle group compartment compromises the perfusion of the tissues within that space. Compartment syndrome is related to the degree of tissue ischaemia within that compartment.
