Neonatal leg fracture and constriction ring syndrome: A case report and literature review.

Congenital constriction of the limbs is usually due to amniotic band syndrome, which often causes damage to the skin and soft tissues. We report an unusual case in which a neonate had recent fractures of both leg bones with an amniotic band encircling the limb. Non-operative treatment was successful. Challenges to the management of neonatal limb constriction include the absence of a consensus about the best treatment and the high frequency of damage to vessels and nerves.
