A novel surgical correction using a combination of wave incision and Z-axis Z-plasty for congenital constriction band syndrome

A congenital constriction band (CCB) is a relatively common anomaly among limb malformations. However, the number of cases treated at a given center is limited and differences in techniques used by surgeons at each facility have a significant impact on treatment outcomes. Several surgical methods have been reported, but a standard technique that yields consistent satisfactory results is still needed. Here, we introduce a novel technique for treatment of CCB syndrome that uses a combination of wave skin incision and Z-axis Z-plasty.
