Abstract:
An unusual traumatic dislocation of the extensor tendons of the fifth metacarpo-phalangeal joint is reported. The extensor hood and capsule were split longitudinally in the mid-line dorsally and the extensor tendons separated, displacing in opposite directions onto the side of the metacarpal head.
