摘要：
We reviewed the case summaries of eight patients who developed concurrent compartment syndromes of the foot and leg after trauma. Patients with multiple fractures of the lower extremities, particularly the tibia, femur, and foot, may develop this disorder. The obvious causes of the concurrent syndromes, concurrent fractures and generalized limb ischemia, were seen only in two patients. The communication between the compartments of the foot and leg may be an additional causative factor. Delayed fasciotomy resulted in muscle necrosis and/or tibial nerve dysfunction. Suspected cases should have the diagnosis established by catheterization of the involved compartments. Prompt fasciotomies of the foot and leg should be performed if the pressures are significantly elevated.
