Abstract
The pneumatic tourniquet is widely used in orthopedics to obtain a bloodless surgical field, however it can sometimes lead to severe complications. We report in this work a case of total paralysis of the hand after use of the pneumatic tourniquet in 32 years old patient who was operated for a simple fracture of the right olecranon.
