A<unk>  space is anatomically determined by an unyielding fascial (and osseous) enclosure of the muscles. The<unk>  of the lower leg (often referred to simply as<unk> , can affect any and all four muscles of that<unk> : tibialis<unk> , extensor hallucis longus, extensor digitorum longus, and peroneus tertius. This term is often mistakenly used to describe various related/proximal conditions, including<unk>  Shin Splints. It is important to distinguish between the two, as shin splints rarely causes serious health problems, while<unk>  can lead to irreversible damage. The true<unk><unk>  arises due to increased pressure within the unyielding<unk><unk>  of the leg. The pressure obstructs venous outflow, which causes further swelling and increased pressure. The resultant ischemia leads to necrosis (death of tissue) of the muscles and nerves. The process can begin with swelling of the tibialis<unk> , extensor hallucis longus, extensor digitorum longus, and/or the peroneus tertius muscles in response to strong eccentric contractions sufficient to produce postexercise soreness.
