On the other hand in there can be another classification for the risk factor of CS:
The primary risk factors of Acute Compartment Syndrome:
- A crushing injury to the extremity
- Wearing too tight, a bandage or cast
- Participation in any rough or high-impact sport
- Consumption of anticoagulants, which increases the risk of bleeding within a compartment
- Individuals with a bleeding disorder, such as hemophilia
The primary risk factors of Chronic (Exertional) Compartment Syndrome:
- Athletes, younger than 30 years
- Consumption of anabolic steroids or the supplement creatine
- Any sport or physical activity that involves repetitive motions, such as running or fast-walking
