The patient has clinical evidence of vascular injury and compartment syndrome. An emergent vascular consult and a return to the operating room for an angiogram and revascularization are needed. In these situations, thrombectomy alone is often not sufficient and a bypass is typically required. A four-compartment fasciotomy should be done following revascularization of the extremity.
