Can you tell me about fasciectomy for anterior tibial compartment syndrome?

Tibial Compartment: This syndrome occurs when the muscle on the front of the lower leg swells, usually due to injury. It can occur with runners, or people who exercise a lot. The fascia is a tight envelope on the outside of the muscle, and if the muscle swells, the fascia can be too tight and block blood flow to the muscle. The treatment involves cutting open the fascia to let the muscle swelling pressure decrease.
