Sumario:Congenital constriction band syndrome is a rare condition that presents with constriction bands affecting different types of extremities. Timely surgical intervention for moderate and severe stages of this condition can be performed either in a single stage or multiple stages. We report the case of a neonate who presented with a congenital constriction band and had excision of the constriction band and z-plasty reconstruction. The surgery was done in a single stage. This case highlights the outcome and safety of this single-stage surgery with Z-plasty reconstruction. At 17 years of age, he has a functional lower limb and excels in archery.
