Compartment syndrome of the thigh is in itself a rarity because of the large size of the compartment and the relatively high compliance of the thigh which allows accommodation to volume changes due to hematoma or tissue edema. Most cases have been reported in association with impact trauma to the lower extremity or in association with crush syndrome. A previously unrecognized complication of total knee arthroplasty where an incipient compartment syndrome developed in the thigh extensor compartment is reported.
由于大腿间室体积较大且大腿相对顺应性较高，能够适应因血肿或组织水肿引起的容积变化，所以大腿间室综合征本身较为罕见。大多数病例报告与下肢撞击伤或挤压综合征有关。本文报告了全膝关节置换术一种此前未被认识到的并发症，即在大腿伸肌间室发生早期间室综合征。
