Abstract

Corrective surgical procedures especially on the limbs take much time to finish and need intense vigilance. During these surgeries tourniquet application is common to prevent excessive blood loss and to perform the procedure in a bloodless field. However, tourniquets have been known to cause some complications due to nerve compression needing immediate attention. We present a case of tourniquet palsy in upper limb with involvement of radial, ulnar and median nerve. The patient received physiotherapy treatment which lead towards his speedy recovery and prevented him from disabilities.
