All of the muscles listed are located in the anterior compartment of the lower limb and would therefore be at risk of injury if compartment syndrome were present. Compartment syndrome occurs when there is increased pressure within a muscle compartment, which can compromise blood flow and oxygen delivery to the muscles and surrounding tissues. This can lead to tissue damage and potentially permanent muscle and nerve damage if not addressed promptly.
