The role of deep fascia in compartmentalizing the segments of the limbs is to transmits the load between bones and intermuscular septa.
These compartment are known as osteofascial compartment, these compartment forms by the fascia that enables the means of containing and separating the groups of muscles into relatively well defined spaces that are compartment.
The deep fascia helps to support and protect muscles and other soft tissue structure. Also it provide a barrier against the infection from one skin to another. The fascia is a structure of connective tissue that surrounds muscles, groups of vessels and nerves.
