Abstract:
35 patients with established mallet finger deformities were treated with Fowler's tenotomy of the central extensor tendon. The mean lack of extension before operation was 45 degrees. 26 patients regained full extension, eight patients had a residual deformity of 10-20 degrees and one patient of 30 degrees.
