Compartment syndrome is a condition where increased pressure within the limited space of a muscle compartment results in reduced blood flow. It most commonly occurs in the lower legs after trauma. The clinical symptoms include pain, pallor, numbness, weakness, pulse present, and pink color. Diagnosis involves patient history, physical exam including compartment pressure measurement, and sometimes imaging. Treatment is surgical decompression through fasciotomy to reduce pressure and restore blood flow if pressure is over 30mmHg. Without treatment, permanent muscle and nerve damage can occur.

Compartment syndrome is a condition an increase pressure interstitial in room that limited. This increase in intra compartment will result less perfusion network and oxygen pressure so that circulation disorders and network functions in room . In America anterior distal lower extremities is The most widely studied for compartment syndrome and is considered as the second most frequent to trauma about 2- 12%. The location can experience compartment syndrome has been found in the hands, forearms, upper arms, abdomen, buttocks, and the entire lower extremity. B. DEFINITION
Compartment syndrome is a condition where an increase in
interstitial pressure within a limited space, which is in a closed compartment osteofasial. The room contains the muscles, nerves and blood vessels. When intrakompartemen pressure increases, blood perfusion to the tissue will decrease and the muscles in the compartment will be ischemic. Ekstremitas inferior Increased accumulation of fluid in the compartment space. Refinement compartment space pressure from the outside Compartment syndrome is preceded by a number of conditions such as fractures, injury to blood vessels. causing bleeding and edema in a muscle compartment that is covered by the fascia that are not able to stretch. Increased pressure in the compartment produces compartment tamponade. If the pressure is increased continuously in a few hours there will be a malfunction of muscle tissue and nerves. F. CLINICAL SYMPTOMS Compartment syndrome has a typical clinical symptoms known as "6P's. 1. Pain. 2. Pallor. 3. Parasthesia. 4. Paresis. 5. Pulse present . 6. Pink color G. DIAGNOSIS Anamnesis - Painful - Parastesi - history of trauma physical examination - Inspection : In the inspection can be found in the diseased area looks swollen, the skin looks pink and patient looked in pain. - Palpasi : palpation obtained some typical signs of compartment syndrome: pain, pulse H. EXAMINATION SUPPORT X-Ray : to see no fracture Arteriografi : to see arterial injury compartment pressure measure : is the gold standard for diagnosis of compartment syndrome. I. MANAGEMENT
Therapy : reduce neurological function deficits
by first restoring local blood flow, usually by surgical decompression. Operative : Indication for operative treatment for compartment syndrome is if intrakompartemen pressure> 30 mmHg and requires prompt and immediate action to do Fasciotomy. Kontraktur Volkmann Sindroma Crush Claudikasio Intermitten Trombosis Vena Fractur Stress Entrapment Neuropathies Acute compartment syndrome tend to have an end result that is ugly, muscle tolerance to ischemia is 4 hours. Irreversible damage occurs when more than 8 hours.
