ABSTRACT
Volkmanns ischemic contracture, despite a relatively small incidence, is one of the most devastating complications following a limb injury. The orthopedic surgeon must be equipped to recognize and effectively treat this complication. Recently the authors have managed 3 cases with V.I.C. with the following results. 1) The etiology showed CO poisoning, arterial injury, wringer injury around the elbow in each case. 2) The method of surgical treatment depended upon deformities and functional loss of individual patient. 3) The end results seemed to be proportionate to the previous deformities and functional less. 4) Early postoperative passive exercises of the digits seemed to be helpful in restoring further range of motion.
