I have maisonneuve fracture with compartment syndrome since yesterday. if i'm operated dec 19, could i be home alone from dec 27 to jan 20?

Emergency: A compartment syndrome is typically an emergency which requires immediate surgery to try to save the leg. So...to say that you have a compartment syndrome but are scheduled to have surgery several days from now doesn't quite add up. As such, you would need to discuss the specifics of your case with your surgeon.
