A member asked:
Muscle hernia following fasciotomy for chronic exertional compartment syndrome - is treatment necessary? what are risks?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: It depends on how large it is, whether it causes you pain, and risk of trapping other abdominal organs. Most small ones do not need repair.
