Abstract
Objective: Risk factors relating the surgical outcomes of lower leg traumatic compartment syndrome in Vietnam. Patients and method: We retrospected 26 patients diagnosed with leg compartment syndrome who were operated at Saint Paul University Hospital from 2009 to 2013. Our study assessed relevant factors:the duration from injury time to operative time, symptoms of sensory loss, motion loss, vascular Doppler signal loss and increased CPK level. Other less relevant factors: pain, stiffness and swelling of leg, GOT/GPT, Urea/ Creatinine, white blood cell count.
