1. What in the configuration of the anteriorcompartment makes this region particularly liable to an increase inintracompartmentalpressure?

How would you test forinvolvement of the deep peroneal nerve, keeping in mind thatdorsiflexion of foot and toes may be severely interfered with byanoxia (lack of oxygen) of the muscles in the compartment, and thatloss of muscle action therefore does not necessarily imply nerveinvolvement?

What area of the skinwould you test for sensory loss?

The presence of arterialpulse in the anterior tibial and dorsalis pedis arteries seems toprove patency of the main stem, although, occasionally, awell-established collateral circulation in the lower part of theleg by means of branches from the arteries in the posteriorcompartment may simulate patency in a vessel blocked higherup.

What vessel in theposterior compartment would particularly contribute to suchcollateral circulation?
