摘　　要：Compartment syndrome is a rare complication of total knee replacement(TKR) surgery that needs prompt diagnosis and treatment as it may be associated with high morbidity and mortality. We have found very few reports in the literature describing compartment syndrome after TKRs and therefore, present a relevant case which occurred in the immediate postoperative phase and was treated with fasciotomy and subsequent operations to close the soft tissue defects.Compartment syndrome is a rare complication of total knee replacement(TKR) surgery that needs prompt diagnosis and treatment as it may be associated with high morbidity and mortality.
