Abstract:
Rubber band syndrome is a relatively rare condition that occurs primarily in pediatric patients and is rarely seen in adults. Prolonged use of elastic bands may cause local contraction of the skin on the limbs, which gradually becomes lodged in the soft tissue, causing distal tissue edema, dysfunction and infection. In severe cases, damage to nerves, blood vessels and limbs can occur. Surgical exploration and resection are the main treatment methods. We present a case report of a 78-year-old patient with rubber band syndrome who recovered after surgery, innovative silver ion dressing combined with human epidermal growth factor gel dressing change and intravenous antibiotics.
