Crush injury scarring to leg. Scarring from old crush injury, and scar from decompression surgery for compartment syndrome, on the back of the calf of a 46-year-old man's leg. Compartment syndrome can be caused by crush injuries. Surgery is needed to open up the affected fascial compartment (sections of the arms and legs) to relieve (decompress) the pressure on the muscles and nerves. | |
