Researchers have reported a mortality rate of 47% for acute compartment syndrome of the thigh. [63] A study showed the fasciotomy rate for acute compartment syndrome ranges from 2% to 24%. [17] The key factor in acute compartment syndrome is the time to diagnosis and fasciotomy. [26] A missed or late diagnosis may require limb amputation to ...

Extensive lower-extremity DVT can even reach into the inferior vena cava (in the abdomen). [104] Upper extremity DVT most commonly affects the subclavian, axillary, and jugular veins. [11] The process of fibrinolysis, where DVT clots can be dissolved back into the blood, acts to temper the process of thrombus growth. [105] This is the preferred ...
The limb is then moved from an elevated to a sitting position and checked for redness, which is called reactive hyperemia. Buerger's test is an assessment of arterial sufficiency, which is the ability of the artery to supply oxygenated blood to the tissue that it goes to. Nonhealing lower extremity wound [38]
Bilateral lower extremity inflammatory lymphedema (BLEIL) is a distinct type of lymphedema occurring in a setting of acute and prolonged standing, such as in new recruits during basic training. [28] Possible underlying mechanisms may include venous congestion and inflammatory vasculitis. [29]
