Limb elevation is advised to prevent edema or swelling of an injured upper or lower limb or after an operative procedure of the limbs. This swelling is due to the accumulation of fluids within the tissues due to a disrupted fluid circulation in injury. Limb elevation plays a crucial role in the healing phase of limb injuries by increasing blood supply and reducing edema. Failure to elevate the limbs may cause compartment syndrome due to fluid and pressure build-up within the tissues, which ultimately leads to tissue injury.
