FIGURE 19.7. Diagrammatic cross-section through mid-calf showing four osteo-fascial compartments (left), arrows indicating medial and lateral incisions required for four-compartment fasciotomy. Shaded areas represent the tibia and fibula. AC: anterior compartment, DPC: deep posterior compartment, SPC: superficial posterior compartment, LC: lateral (peroneal) compartment.
