Fig 1 Five incisions used to release 9 of the 10 compartments of the left foot. These consist of two incisions on the dorsum of the foot (parallel to the second and fourth metatarsals; left panel) to release the dorsal compartment and four interosseous compartments; one on the plantar aspect of the foot (parallel to the third metatarsal; middle panel) to release the superficial and deep central compartments; and one incision each on the medial and lateral aspects of the forefoot (parallel to the glabrous skin borders of first and fifth metatarsals; upper and lower right panels) to release the medial and lateral compartments, respectively.
