The treatment of Volkmann ischaemic contracture of upper extremity

Abstract

Volkmann ischaemic contracture is still a problem in undeveloped and developing countries. In this study, 16 patients treated for their upper extremity contractures between May 1990 to February 1995 were analyzed. In 13 of them there were bone-setter intervention in history. Primary diagnoses were fracture in 13 patients and soft tissue injury in three patients. According to Tsuge's clinical classification eight of them were mild, five moderate, three severe. After an average follow up of 33 months better results were obtained in mild cases. Nearly 85% healing of neurologic deficits were seen in patients in whom early neurolysis have been performed. Correction was obtained in four of six patients in whom muscle sliding has been performed. A careful preoperative planning is compulsory and the primary goal must be to recover in forearm and hand functions.
