Mallet finger.
Mallet finger involves loss of continuity of the extensor tendon over the distal interphalangeal joint. This common hand injury results in a flexion deformity of the distal finger joint and may lead to an imbalance between flexion and extension forces more proximally in the digit. Mallet injuries can be classified into four types, based on skin integrity and the presence or absence of bony invo...
متن کاملThe conservative treatment of mallet finger with a simple splint: a case report.
Sixty patients with mallet finger deformity were randomly treated with either a Stack or a custom-made padded aluminium alloy malleable finger splint. Both splints were equally effective in correcting the deformity but the aluminium alloy splint was able to be fitted to a wider variety of finger shapes and sizes and caused significantly fewer skin complications.

متن کاملAcute Finger Paralysis: A Case Report of Cortical Ischemic Stroke
Somatotopic distribution of motor cortex and sensory fibers is theoretically fully understood. We present a case of stroke, mimicking peripheral palsy, with finger paralysis attributed to cortical lesion. The patient’s brain MRI may be useful to further understand the somatotopic representation of fingers in precentral and postcentral gyrus.
متن کاملtREAtmENt Of mALLEt fINGER – A REvIEw
Disruption of the finger’s extensor apparatus at its terminal portion, causing inability to extend distal interphalangeal joint (abbreviation: DIP) and dropping of the distal phalanx, results with well known „mallet finger” deformity. This deformity can be caused by simple rupture of extensor apparatus, or avulsion fracture of the dorsal rim of the articular surface of distal phalanx. Sudden, f...
