Course overview

Extensor tendon injuries of the hand are commonly encountered in clinical practice. Injury mechanisms include hyperflexion direct blunt trauma and penetrating trauma. A disruption of the extensor mechanism over zone III and detachment of the central slip may result in a boutonniere deformity characterised by flexion of the proximal interphalangeal joint and hyperextension of the distal interphalangeal joint. The term mallet finger refers to an injury of the terminal extensor mechanism of the hand and leads to a loss of active extension at the distal interphalangeal joint. Treatment for central slip and mallet finger injuries ranges from non-operative management with splinting to surgical repair. Physiotherapists play an important role in the management of these types of injuries to prevent disfigurement and impaired hand function in patients.
