This flexion deformity of the proximal interphalangeal joint is due to interruption of the central slip of the extensor tendon such that the lateral slips separate and the head of the proximal phalanx pops through the gap like a finger through a button hole (thus the name, from French boutonnière "button hole"). The distal joint is ...
Occasionally the first tendon is connected to the second by a thin transverse band. Collectively, these are known as the sagittal bands; they serve to maintain the central alignment of the extensor tendons over the metacarpal head, [3] thus increasing the available leverage. Injuries (such as by an external flexion force during active extension ...
Mallet finger is acquired due to injury to the thin extensor tendon that functions to straighten the end (DIP) joint of a finger. [8] Jamming of the finger induces a rupture of the extensor tendon or a broken bone at the tendon's site of attachment. [9] This results in a droopy and crooked appearance of the end joint of the finger, resembling a ...
At the level of the PIP joint the extensor mechanism splits into three bands. The central slip attaches to the dorsal tubercle of the middle phalanx near the PIP joint. The pair of lateral bands, to which contribute the extensor tendons, continue past the PIP joint dorsally to the joint axis.
The extensor tendons are connected to the second by a thin transverse band, known as the juncturae tendinum; they serve to maintain the central alignment of the extensor tendons over the metacarpal head, [5] thus increasing the available leverage. Injuries (such as by an external flexion force during active extension) may allow the tendon to ...
These are especially concerning, as it may indicate a complete tear of the extensor digitorum tendon. If left untreated, this may lead to permanent DIP extensor lag (inability to fully straighten the finger). [8] A variation of the jammed finger where the extensor tendons on the back of the fingers are damaged is known as 'mallet finger'. [9]
A Massachusetts high school football player was hospitalized with a “traumatic brain injury” following a “disturbing” injury during a game on Thanksgiving Day, according to local officials
Lateral elbow pain can be caused by various pathologies of the common extensor tendon. [3] Overuse injuries can lead to inflammation. [4] [5] Tennis elbow is a common issue with the common extensor tendon. [6] [4] [7]
