This condition causes multiple deformities ranging from simple constricting bands to lymphedema, autoamputation, syndactyly and other congenital anomalies. Reconstructive surgery is the main treatment for ABS.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Presentation of case:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A 4-year-old male presented with multiple constricting bands affecting both hands in addition to an incomplete syndactyly between the third and fourth left digits. A two-staged operation was performed to repair the deformities with 6 months interval. Series of Z-plasties were used to release the constricting bands and the syndactyly was separated by a web zigzag incision approach and full-thickness skin grafting.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Management of ABS must be individualized. The urgency of the surgical release depends on the depth of the constricting bands and their influence on circulation and lymphatic drainage. Superficial bands can be released electively for cosmetic appearance while deep bands should be released as soon as possible. The separation of syndactyly should be done at the first year of life to maintain the digits functionality and parallel growth.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This paper emphasizes the importance of early repair of constricting bands associated with syndactyly to avoid the consequences of the delay on digital growth.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Highlights<\/jats:title>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijscr.2024.109277","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,19]],"date-time":"2024-01-19T06:21:05Z","timestamp":1705645265000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Late management of amniotic bands syndrome with incomplete syndactyly: A case report of 4-year-old child"],"prefix":"10.1097","volume":"115","author":[{"given":"Almekdad M.","family":"Estanbouli","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, University of Aleppo, Aleppo, Syria"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Abdulrazak","family":"Anadani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, University of Aleppo, Aleppo, Syria"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hala","family":"Albobah","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, University of Aleppo, Aleppo, Syria"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tala","family":"Dakkak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, Hama University, Hama, Syrian Arab Republic"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Raneem","family":"Mokresh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Plastic Surgery, Faculty of Medicine, Aleppo University Hospital, University of Aleppo, Aleppo, Syria"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Aladdin","family":"Etr","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Plastic Surgery, Faculty of Medicine, Aleppo University Hospital, University of Aleppo, Aleppo, Syria"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"issue":"5","key":"R1-74-20260408","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"401","DOI":"10.1007\/s12262-012-0468-x","article-title":"Amniotic band syndrome","volume":"75","author":"Shetty,","year":"2013","journal-title":"Indian J.
