14% of leg pain with anterior compartment syndrome (Qvarfordt et al).
1-9% of leg fractures with compartment syndrome.
組織受創釋出發炎物質微血管擴張且血管內膜之通透性上升血漿向外滲至筋膜腔合併紅血球滯流腔室內壓力上升血液循環受阻組織缺氧釋放更多發炎物質
當壓力上升至 50 mm Hg,血流量下降至70%;而壓力到達 80 mm Hg時,血流只剩下5% 。
有兩種分類:
外傷引起,如:骨折,肌肉挫傷。
日常生活引起 (microtrauma),稱之為 exertional compartment syndrome 。
