A member asked:

Is it possible to have compartment syndrome and a herniated tibialis anterior?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Yes whatever trauma caused the herniation of the muscle could also cause compartment syndrome. Or herniation of the muscle could cause swelling of the muscle that leads to compartment syndrome.
