Advanced Management of Distal Lower Extremity Congenital Constriction Bands for Foot Salvage.

ABSTRACT: Constriction ring syndrome is a rare congenital condition characterized by the formation of fibrous amniotic bands, which can result in limb or digit deformation, malformation, or autoamputation. Surgical intervention is necessary for patients with progressive or severe forms of constriction banding, but the timing and operative approach vary widely. Here, the authors present a case report detailing the successful removal of multiple congenital constriction bands (CBs), uniquely affecting the distal ankle and foot in an infant meeting Patterson type-2 criteria. This type is characterized by CBs resulting in distal deformation with or without swelling. In this case, urgent intervention was prompted by concerns of vascular compromise, and amputation was considered due to the severity of the
