Congenital constriction band syndrome.

A retrospective study of 55 patients with congenital constriction band syndrome was performed. Multiple extremity involvement was found to be the most common clinical feature associated with the disease, and 34% of the patients studied were premature at birth. Malformations included constriction bands, clubfoot, intrauterine amputation, syndactyly, and acrosyndactyly (fenestrated syndactyly).

High-energy roller injuries to the upper extremity.

Eleven cases of high-energy industrial roller injuries treated between 1980 and 1984 were retrospectively reviewed. The dominant extremity was affected in nine. Six patients sustained fractures and/or dislocations, and three of these patients required fasciotomies for clinical signs of impending compartment syndromes.
