A few questions about acute compartment syndrome.

Does it usually happen bilateral or only on one side?
How long after surgery does it usually happen? Early or late stages of lengthening?
Quick fasciotomy is the treatment of choice?
How big are the odds of it happening with femur LL?

Hi redwedding,

Thank you for the information! Do you know the apparent symptoms beside intense swelling of the leg?
