M H Bourne, and R A Klassen

Conditions associated with congenital annular constricting bands include autoamputation, acrosyndactyly of the hands and toes, clubfeet, lymphedema, pseud-arthrosis, and nail deformities. The association of congenital annular constricting bands and angular deformities of long bones is exceedingly rare. Reported is one such case treated with fibrous release and crescentic osteotomy.
