Compartment syndrome is not typically considered to be hereditary. It is more commonly associated with acute trauma or overuse injuries that lead to increased pressure within a muscle compartment, restricting blood flow and potentially causing damage to tissues. Genetics may play a role in an individual's susceptibility to certain conditions that can contribute to compartment syndrome, but it is not considered a directly hereditary condition.
