When surgeons talk about compartment syndrome, the focus is often on diagnosis and surgical urgency. Far less attention is given to what happens next for the patient. In this episode, Dr. Christopher Doro joins us for a conversation on the downstream realities of acute compartment syndrome, recovery timelines, functional challenges, and the physical and psychological hurdles patients face following fasciotomy or limb loss. We also discuss real cases, the implications of false-positive pressure findings in ACS, and how multidisciplinary care impacts patients’ lives.
