Question 1 of 5

Which of the following statements best describes compartment syndrome?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Compartment syndrome is characterized by swelling and increased pressure within a muscle compartment, leading to decreased blood flow and oxygen supply to nerves and muscles. This can result from various causes, such as trauma or the application of a cast after a fracture. If left untreated, compartment syndrome can lead to tissue necrosis.
Choice A is incorrect as pain and tingling starting in the buttock and traveling down the leg are not specific features of compartment syndrome.
Choice C is incorrect as permanent flexion of the interphalangeal joint is unrelated to compartment syndrome.
Choice D is incorrect as pain and swelling of the median plantar nerve do not describe compartment syndrome.
