1. A method for monitoring oxygenation levels of a compartment of a human body for detecting conditions of a compartment syndrome, comprising:

  • providing an alignment mechanism on a compartment sensor;

    monitoring oxygenation levels of the compartment with the compartment sensor;

    monitoring blood pressure of the human body;

    monitoring a relationship between the blood pressure and the oxygenation levels;

    determining if conditions exist that may indicate a compartment syndrome may occur in the human body;

    displaying the blood pressure and oxygenation levels of the compartment on a display device; and

    activating an alarm when both the blood pressure and oxygenation levels start decreasing in value.
