Lower leg muscle grow post tibia surgery with external fixation and/or staple

Edit Post

Some people who have had tibia surgery for correction and/or lengthening using external fixation and/or staple have experienced that their lower legs was swollen through the whole process and after the process their lower legs muscle became permanently very big.

Two questions:

1. Have anyone here have experience that or read about this?   

2. And also, if that person who got permanently big muscle after the external fixation surgery have to have another surgery in the tibia will the risk of compartment syndrome then grow?

So, the risk will be very minimum if a new surgery is only for correction and NO lengthening ?
