Without the fasciatomies (or if the fasciotomies had been delayed) , it probably would have been necessary to amputate the leg.

若不做筋膜切开（或是推迟进行筋膜切开手术），很有可能就得截肢。

The extent of those lower-leg injuries necessitated two deep incisions—they're called medial and lateral fasciotomies—to release the pressure caused by the exploded tibia and also to allow blood to flow back into the lower leg.

小腿的伤很严重，需要做两个很深的切口——这叫做医疗横向筋膜切开术——以缓解胫骨爆开产生的压力，并且让血液重新流到小腿去。
