    Area of Science:

    • Rheumatology
    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Hand Surgery

    Background:

    • Rheumatoid hand deformities frequently involve tendon dislocations.
    • Habitual tendon dislocation is a rare manifestation in rheumatoid arthritis patients.
    • Seronegative rheumatoid arthritis patients can present with unique challenges.

    Observation:

    • A case series of five seronegative rheumatoid arthritis patients with habitual extensor tendon dislocation was studied.
    • The patients presented with a specific pattern of deformity.
    • Clinical observations guided the investigation into causative factors.

    Findings:

    • The study discusses the etiology of habitual extensor tendon dislocation in the rheumatoid hand.
    • Treatment options are evaluated based on existing literature and case observations.
