AbstractCompartment syndrome of the lower extremities has various etiologies. Patients suffer from toe deformity due to incorrect healing following compartment syndrome. They are restricted in their mobility as a result, even though the primary causes of the compartment syndrome in the lower extremities have long since healed. The toe deformities cannot be specifically attributed to compartment syndrome. Instead, they are a typical response to biomechanical changes in the foot. Following compartment syndrome, they are the result of a relative shortening of the tendons and a loss of function and contraction of the muscle; in patients with splay foot and flat foot, the toe deformity is caused by bone and connective tissue pathology. Identical surgical measures are used.
