Abstract:
Congenital hypoplasia of the extensor tendons, which is defined as a congenital anomaly of the hand involving the extensor mechanism, is a rare condition and there are few previous reports in literature. We reported a case of bilateral congenital hypoplasia of the extensor tendons in a 12-year-old boy who presented with inability to extend his middle and ring fingers treated by the flexor carpi radialis tendon transfers.
