Acquired constriction ring syndrome, also known as toe-tourniquet syndrome, requires prompt diagnosis and treatment to prevent serious complications. Early surgical intervention is crucial for a good prognosis and to avoid potential amputation.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopaedic Surgery
  • Vascular Surgery

Background:

  • Acquired constriction ring syndrome, or toe-tourniquet syndrome, is a rare condition.
  • It can lead to severe digital ischemia if not recognized.

Observation:

  • A case presentation of acquired constriction ring syndrome is detailed.
  • The condition involves a constricting band around a toe.

Findings:

  • Prompt treatment of toe-tourniquet syndrome results in a favorable prognosis.
  • Delayed diagnosis can lead to limb-threatening complications, including amputation.

Implications:

  • Increased awareness among orthopaedic surgeons is vital for timely diagnosis.
  • Urgent surgical exploration is recommended when tissue viability is uncertain.
