Severe crush injuries with compartment syndrome were treated in five patients by an immediate one-stage procedure. This procedure included the assessment of skin flap viability with accurate debridement of devascularized tissues. It was performed according to the split-thickness skin excision technique. Compartment pressures were measured and the fasciotomies were performed through open wounds or separate medial and lateral incisions. The medial incision was extended to release the tarsal tunnel. Fractures were reduced and internally fixed and exposed bones were covered with locally transposed muscles. Skin grafts, taken earlier for the skin viability assessment, were meshed and applied to replace skin loss. All wounds and fractures healed uneventfully with no major functional loss. In multiple trauma, the physician should maintain a high index of suspicion for early diagnosis and treatment of severe foot injuries. Early treatment leads to more desirable results, shorter hospitalization, and faster rehabilitation.
