- Abstract
The article discusses the case of an infant with a circumferential, limb-threatening band-like lesion due to the entrapment of a patient identification band underneath the Pavlik harness. Topics discussed include the application of the harness due to the patient's developmental dysplasia of hips (DDH), the relief of the swelling following the removal of the identification band, and continued wound care.
