Correspondence: Dr Vineet Jain, House No. 194, Sector 21-C, Faridabad, Haryana 121001, India. Tel.: +91 129 5042622, +91 9810324416. E-mail: vineet.ortho{at}gmail.com, vineet_leo{at}indiatimes.com.

This paper presents six cases who had a contracture of the long flexor tendons of the fingers and exhibited Volkmann’s sign due to a chronic abscess or cysticercosis in the belly of the flexor digitorum profundus. All of them were treated conservatively, with full functional recovery in all the cases and with no recurrence.

Key Words: Volkmann contracture • abscess forearm • cysticercosis
