How long will it take for symptoms of compartment syndrome to set in?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Soon: True compartment syndrome is not too common. If it occurs it can develop over a few hours, often as a result of severe trauma or injury. Symptoms of pain, numbness, and reduced motor function of the extremity can sometimes be a later sign of advanced or prolonged compartment syndrome.
