[Diaphysary resection using Colzi's method in the treatment of Volkmann's syndrome]

The AA, report one case of Volkmann's contracture in a patient 8-1/2 years old treated by shortening of the ulna and radius according to Colzi's procedure. The reasons why such method was chosen are explained and the excellent result obtained described. In the light of their experience the AA. deem that the Colzi's procedure is still valid, also on the account that does not preclude the possibility to perform other procedure.
