Apparently the fear was that Lockett might be suffering from a condition known as compartment syndrome, which could lead to some very serious consequences if not addressed quickly. That's why they sent him immediately to the hospital vs. back on the plane, and the fact that he spent two nights in the hospital is proof that our medical staff made the right call. Here's what I learned about the condition from WebMD:
Compartment syndrome occurs when excessive pressure builds up inside an enclosed muscle space in the body. Compartment syndrome usually results from bleeding or swelling after an injury. The dangerously high pressure in compartment syndrome impedes the flow of blood to and from the affected tissues. It can be an emergency, requiring surgery to prevent permanent injury.
Severe tissue damage can result, with loss of body function or even death. The legs, arms, and abdomen are most prone to developing compartment syndrome...Acute compartment syndrome develops rapidly over hours or days.
