For adults with healthprovider induced Compartment Syndrome of arms or legs including amputation of toes andor fingers.

Briefly describe a specific question, or set of related questions, about a health care test or treatment that this program should consider.

For adults with healthprovider induced Compartment Syndrome of arms or legs including amputation of toes andor fingers.

Describe why this topic is important.

Even after spending four years as an Emergency Care Provider I am only now realizing how little is understood about Compartment Syndrome treatment the severe pain associated with it and the importance of seeking effective treatment and why it is important to expect as a patient to endure such a long period of time in pain depression and little empathy from others due to their own misunderstandings.

How will an answer to your research question be used or help inform decisions for you or your group?

I still have no clear understanding of what to expect in terms of lengthofrecovery permanent limitations length of pain endurance and why this condition has such a profound impact on a person.
