Osteofascial compartment syndrome is mainly treated by incision and decompression. All fascia is cut open. If the local muscle shows necrosis, the necrotic muscle should be removed together. If the muscle is not completely necrotic and still alive, the incision should be kept open, bandaged with auxiliary materials, and then sutured. After incision and decompression, it can prevent further ischemic necrosis of muscle or nerve. After surgery, it is best not to lift the affected limb too high, not to wear tight pants, and not to cause local pressure. Observe whether there is severe pain in the affected limb, such as pulling pain. If the pain is severe, it should be treated immediately.
