Abstract

The video described by this article presents a safe and effective technique for single-incision, 4-compartment fasciotomy of the leg in a patient with a tibial plateau fracture and clinically diagnosed compartment syndrome. We also demonstrate a technique for the application of a negative pressure wound dressing when delayed closure or coverage is planned.
