Ainhum, or dactylolysis spontanea, is a rare medical condition characterized by developing fibrotic constricting bands that usually form around the digits. These fibrous tissue rings can lead to significant morbidity and auto-amputation of the affected digit. Although, historically, ainhum was recognized in South American and African individuals, it is now reported in a more diverse population, including White individuals and, rarely, in India. Importantly, this condition requires differentiation from other hereditary and secondary constricting band diseases. This activity outlines the epidemiology, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and management of ainhum for the interprofessional healthcare team to treat patients with this condition and improve the overall outcomes.
