Acute Compartment Syndrome of the Thigh

Abstract
Compartment syndrome of the thigh is a recognized, yet uncommon, condition characterized by excessive thigh pain following trauma, especially if accompanied by decreasing neurological function. A case is presented in a patient with a subtrochanteric fracture of the femur due to a gunshot wound. Surgical decompression corrected the problem.
