Compartment syndrome is an orthopedic emergency due to its potential complications and mortality.

Surgeon's experience and preference are important in the management of compartment syndrome.   Sindrom kompartemen merupakan salah satu kegawatdaruratan ortopedi karena potensi komplikasi dan risiko kematiannya. Banyak penelitian yang membahas mengenai pemeriksaan penunjang dan penutupan luka fasiotomi terkait sindrom kompartemen, namun belum ada referensi yang disetujui sebagai baku standar. Pengalaman dan preferensi dokter bedah terkait merupakan unsur terpenting dalam tata laksana sindrom kompartemen.
