ABSTRACT
Volkmann ischemic contracture (VIC) is a devastating condition that results from neglected compartment syndrome, which leads to prolonged ischemia, irreversible tissue necrosis, and various degrees of muscle and nerve damage, causing serious motor and sensory functional implications for the limb and a spectrum of diseases associated with worsening deformities. A thorough understanding of the anatomy and VIC pathophysiology is needed to plan an appropriate strategy. Functioning free muscle transplantation (FFMT) can restore finger movement in a paralyzed limb but requires a three-staged approach to maximize the benefits of FFMT, leading to meaningful finger extrinsic function.
