A member asked:
Fasciotomy of medial foot 12/13 (41 mm/hg) relieved symptoms & pain. last wk symptoms returned and pressure today was 53 mm/hg. how urgent is this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Urgent: We consider any compartment with a pressure of over 35 mm of mercury to be enough to limit blood flow and lead to tissue loss. I recommend you have this evaluated by a general or ortho surgeon, or er doc asap.
