Figure

• 

  Fig. 1. Acute compartment syndrome in lower extremity with open fracture. We can observe the venous congestion around the foot.

• 

  Fig. 2. An example of an open fracture because of fall. The patient needs early debridement and fixation. A case of open femur fracture due to fall from the roof.

• 

  Fig. 3. Regional x-rays of a polytrauma patient. We can observe severe comminuted fracture of femur diaphysis and elbow. The acetabular fracture and flail chest can also be seen.
