Review of Acute Traumatic Closed Mallet Finger Injuries in Adults
In adults, mallet finger is a traumatic zone I lesion of the extensor tendon with either tendon rupture or bony avulsion at the base of the distal phalanx. High-energy mechanisms of injury generally occur in young men, whereas lower energy mechanisms are observed in elderly women. The mechanism of injury is an axial load applied to a straight digit tip, which is then followed by passive extreme...
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...
متن کاملMallet 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 کاملExtension block pining for treatment of bony mallet finger
Abstract Background: The goal of this report is to show our results with extension block technique for treatment of mallet fracture. The indications for this technique were the presence of a large bone fragment, and palmar subluxation. Methods: We retrospectively assessed the results of treatment in 14 mallet fractures which have been treated by extension block technique to determine the ra...
متن کاملThe results of treatment of mallet finger.
Mallet finger is the deformity caused by a tear of the extensor expansion from its attachment to the base of the terminal phalanx. Sometimes there is an associated fracture caused by avulsion of a small triangular fragment of bone. The terminal phalanx is flexed and the power of active extension is lost, and there may be a secondary hyperextension of the proximal interphalangeal joint due to th...
