	Postgraduate Medicine: Lower extremity compartment syndrome
		It occurs near the anterior intermuscular septum dividing the anterior and lateral compartments at the distal third of the leg.
		The anterior compartment is reached by inserting the catheter halfway between the tibial crest and the lateral intermuscular septum in the central portion of the compartment.
		The compartments most often involved are the anterior and the lateral (14).

	Persistent Shin Pain in
		Anterior compartment syndrome in racewalkers is characterized by a deep, diffuse, aching leg pain during activity, swelling and tightness, muscle weakness, numbness in the legs and feet, sometimes reduced pulse at the front of the ankle, and possibly herniations through the fascia
		The deep peroneal nerve and the anterior tibial artery are also contained deep within the anterior compartment, anterior to the interosseous membrane of the tibia.
		This eccentric contraction of the tibialis anterior muscles and concomitant increase in blood flow within the anterior compartment (and eventual hypertrophy of the tibialis anterior muscle) is the most likely reason for the high incidence of anterior compartment problems in racewalkers

	Compartment Syndrome
		Compartment syndrome is a general term which can cover a variety of different areas in the body but for this discussion we're going to focus on the anterior compartment of the lower leg as this is the primary area that would be affected in runners and triathletes.
		The muscles of the anterior compartment are involved with dorsiflexion (upward movement) of the foot and toes.
		This anterior compartment is defined by the tibia bone on the inside, the fibula bone to the rear, and the crural fascia surrounding it all.

		The anterior compartment lies anterolaterally between the tibia and fibula, bounded deeply by the interosseous membrane and superficially by the deep fascia of the leg.
		The deep posterior (or medial) compartment is enclosed between the deep fascia of the medial aspect of the leg, the interosseous membrane and a deep transverse intermuscular septum which separates it from the posterior compartment.
		The compartment is bounded medially by the fibula, and by anterior and posterior crural intermuscular septa (Corrigan and Maitland, 1994).

		It is important to avoid the superficial peroneal nerve during its exit from the fascia of the lateral compartment traversing anterior in the distal third of the leg.
		Because tissue perfusion in a compartment is dependent on arteriolar and capillary perfusion gradients, a compartment syndrome may result in the presence of peripheral pulses.
		The lateral compartment is then released with an incision on the inferior-medial aspect of its overlying fascia, extending to the lateral side of the foot.

	Anterior Leg & Dorsal Foot
		The artery of the anterior compartment of the leg is the anterior tibial artery which is a branch of the popliteal artery.
		The nerve of the anterior compartment of the leg is the deep peroneal nerve.
		The anterior compartment contains muscles that are basically extensors of the ankle and toes.

	Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery: Peroneal compartment syndrome of non-traumatic orgin: A case report
		Literature reports suggest that the anterior compartment of the lower leg is the most susceptible and that this may be because the fibrous and osseous boundaries are far more defined and rigid than in the other compartments.8 Ger et al.
		goes so far as to state "it is something of a rarity that any compartment other than the anterior undergoes strangulation".8
		Acute and chronic compartment syndromes are discussed and differentiated, and the importance of a high index of suspicion in all cases is emphasised.

	The Physician and Sportsmedicine: Exertional Compartment Syndrome
		E xertional compartment syndrome (ECS) of the leg--whether acute or chronic--is characterized by exercise-induced pain and swelling that is relieved by rest.
		It pierces the lateral compartment fascia at the junction of the midthird and distal third of the leg.
		Each compartment contains a major nerve: the deep peroneal in the anterior compartment, the superficial peroneal in the lateral compartment, the saphenous in the superficial posterior compartment, and the tibial in the deep posterior compartment (figure 1: not shown).

	AAPM&R - EMG Case No. 71, cont
		Compartment syndrome in the leg usually affects the anterior compartment; while in the forearm, the flexor compartment is most susceptible.
		In the anterior compartment, as explained above, only the extensor hallucis longus shows decreased activity and the deep peroneal sensory branch is also affected based on clinical exam.
		As previously stated, compartment syndrome can be seen in up to 30% of tibial shaft fractures and risk is increased with further manipulation including surgery or pin/rod placement.

	Muscles of the Leg
		This compartment is bounded by the lateral surface of the fibula, the anterior and posterior crural fascia.
		Their anterior tibial muscles swell from sudden overuse and the swollen muscles in the anterior compartment reduce the blood flow to the muscles.
		The flexor retinaculum is a thickening of the deep fascia of the leg, which passes from the medial side of the calcaneus to the medial malleolus.

		In biology, a leg is the part of an animal's body (most commonly in one of the even numbers of 2, 4, 6 or 8, and many more in millipedes) that separates the body from the ground and is used for locomotion.

	Podiatry Today
		During the fascial release of the anterior compartment, the author recommends using Metzenbaum scissors to split the fascia longitudinally by capturing the edge of the fascia in the jaws of the scissors.
		The posterior compartments are separated by the deep transverse fascia and enveloped by the deep fascia of the leg.
		Furthermore, recent anatomical dissections have implied that muscles in the superficial posterior compartment may lay within their own separate fascial envelopes as well, the significance of which is unknown at this time.

		In human anatomy, the anterior tibial vein of the lower limb carries blood from the anterior compartment of the leg to the popliteal vein which is forms when it joins with the posterior tibial vein.
		Like most deep veins, the anterior tibial vein is accompanied by an artery of the same name, the anterior tibial artery, along its course.
