Compartment syndrome is a condition in which there is increased pressure in soft tissues within a closed space, leading to tissue ischemia. The patient experiences pain that is out of proportion to the injury. Diagnosis is based on clinical symptoms and measurement of compartment pressure.

Compartment syndrome is an urgent medical emergency, diagnosed by measuring compartment pressure using the Whitesides method. This is the optimal method to measure compartment pressure quickly and accurately, helping doctors to have an early treatment plan to avoid causing dangerous complications for the patient.

Compartment syndrome with compression mechanism due to fracture injury or some other causes is a problem that needs to be solved early when detected. If not treated promptly, the patient will be at risk of many serious complications such as necrosis, irreversible damage that requires amputation.

The most important principle of patient positioning during surgery is "Do No Harm" to the patient. Anesthesia often reduces or eliminates the patient's awareness of positioning, so it is the responsibility of anesthesiologists and other members of the surgical team to ensure that the surgical position is achieved without harm to the patient."
