A case of "acquired constriction ring" or "toe-tourniquet" syndrome is presented to increase awareness of the condition in the orthopaedic community. If treated promptly, this condition has a very good prognosis and, if the diagnosis is missed, may lead to amputation. We also discuss the potential causes and presentation of this condition, along with the need for urgent surgical exploration if there are doubts over tissue viability.
本文报告一例“获得性缩窄环”或“趾部止血带”综合征病例，以提高骨科领域对该病症的认识。若及时治疗，该病症预后良好，但若漏诊则可能导致截肢。我们还讨论了该病症的潜在病因、临床表现，以及在对组织活力存疑时进行紧急手术探查的必要性。
