Abstract

A case is described of a patient who developed rhabdomyolysis and acute renal failure after the use of an intraoperative tourniquet for elective orthopaedic surgery. A review of the literature revealed four similar cases in the last 20 years. The clinical features and management of such patients are discussed.
