RESUMO
In the aftermath of a forearm trauma, tendon contractures are difficult to diagnose and evoke nerve compression or muscle ischemia (Volkmann's syndrome). One rarely thinks of tendon incarceration within the fracture and the diagnosis is often made long after. During claw fingers retraction, it is known as "false Volkmann's syndrome" (Baudet and Lafond, 1979) or "pseudo Volkmann's syndrome" (Deeney et al., 1998). The authors report the case of ulnar claw fingers retraction, one year after a fracture of both bones of the forearm, treated surgically with recuperation of normal mobility immediately after emergence of the conflict.
