Three children between the ages of 18 months and four years presented with a discharging sinus or sinuses at the wrist due to a ‘sacred’ thread (the Moli Dhaga) which had been tied around it. This thread had been forgotten by the parents and had become embedded in the soft tissues of the wrist. Plain radiographs showed a circumferential constriction in the soft tissue shadow in all three. In two, there was a periosteal reaction in the distal radius or ulna with an indentation which we have called the constriction sign. Surgical removal of the buried thread was successful in all cases.
