Özet
Introduction: Hair tourniquet syndrome (HTS) is a rare surgical emergency caused by a hair or thread wrapping around an appendage. We aimed to present our clinical experience with HTS of toes and attract physicians' attention to this rare entity.Methods: Between January 2012 and September 2022; 26 patients (25 pediatric and one adult case) were treated for HTS. All pediatric cases were treated surgically under loop magnification. The adult patient was treated nonsurgically. The patient's age, gender, affected appendage and side, duration of symptoms, and postoperative complications were recorded.Results: Thirty-six toes of 25 patients (13 boys, 11 girls, and a male adult) were included in the study. The mean age of pediatric patients was 126.6 days. The third toe was the most affected (n:16), followed by the fourth (n:8). In seven patients more than one was affected.Conclusion: HTS should be treated as soon as possible when diagnosed to prevent further complications including appendage loss.& COPY; 2023 European Foot and Ankle Society.
