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.
