Higher risk of compartment syndrome with circular externals than nailing?

With circular external methods there are many pins and drillings going on compared to with internal nailing methods.
Does it therefore mean that there is a higher risk of compartment syndrome with circular external methods compared to internal nailing methods?

No.  That would not affect compartment syndrome risk.
