Abstract
Of 21 patients with congenital constriction band syndrome treated in our clinic from 1967 to 1988, four had constriction bands proximal to the wrist. Three of these also had a peripheral nerve palsy. Late surgical decompression does not help but early diagnosis, using electrodiagnosis methods, and neurolysis or nerve grafting as soon as possible may improve nerve function.Keywords
