Pressure and swelling caused by the bleeding within the muscle compartment become so great that the body can no longer perfuse the tissues against the pressure. Cellular damage occurs and causes additional swelling. Blood flow to the area is lost. The limb itself may be lost if the pressure is not relieved.
  What is this condition called?
 
  A) Fracture syndrome B) Compartment syndrome
  C) Crushing syndrome D) Perfusing syndrome
