An investigation of a new catheter and pressure monitor system that may help to prevent a complication called compartment syndrome from developing in an injured leg. Compartment syndrome occurs when too much fluid builds up in the muscles of the injured leg. This causes a lot of swelling and increases pressures within the leg that can cause permanent damage muscles and nerves in the leg.

To determine if use of Twin Star catheter with active fluid removal reduces muscle compartment pressure vs Twin Star catheter without fluid removal by comparing the randomized groups. Success will be defined by a p-value less than 0.05 (two-sided).
Timeframe: fluid removal will be collected & recorded at 2, 4, 8, 16, & 24 hrs after catether insertion.
