Summary

This study looks at genetic differences and muscle gene activity in people who develop acute compartment syndrome after a serious leg fracture, compared to those who don't. Researchers will measure a protein called myostatin in muscle tissue. The goal is to better understand why some people get this condition, not to test a new treatment.
