Extensor Tendon Injuries Prognosis Ø 60% assoc w/other injuries Fracture Dislocation Joint Flexor tendon Ø Outcome Dependent on assoc injuries

Mallet Finger Ø Extensor mechanism disruption from the distal phalanx Ø Soft tissue vs. avulsion Ø Obtain radiograph to evaluate for: Fracture Subluxation Physeal Injury

Bony Mallet Finger

Swan Neck

Mallet Finger

Mallet Finger Treatment Ø First 6 weeks Stack splint - Continuous Ø At 6 weeks AROM with removable splint Ø At 8 weeks PROM & night splint

Mallet Finger Treatment Ø Surgery if: Physeal injury Subluxation Displaced bony mallet Chronic swan neck

Zone II/IV Injury Middle/Proximal Phalanx Tendons very flat < 50% lac and strong extension Splint for 10 d AROM afterwards >50% Repair with core suture Continuous splinting x 6 wks

Zone III Injury Central Slip Disruption at PIP Mechanism Forceful PIP hyperflexion Volar PIP Dislocation Laceration Boutonniere later develops

Zone III Injury Closed Boutonniere Lesion Treatment: Splint PIP in extension Continuously - 6 weeks Leave DIP free

Zone III Injury Open Boutonniere Lesion Treatment I&D joint Suture repair K wire PIP in ext for 6 wks

Zone V Injury MP Joint Ø Human Bites I&D, leave open, ABX Return in 7-10 d for tendon repair Retraction in this zone uncommon

Ø Longitudinal tear of extensor hood Ø Traumatic or spontaneous Flicking finger Ø Ulnar dislocation (radial tear) Ø Results in incomplete extension and ulnar deviation Ø Treat by repair and 4 wks of MP ext splinting Zone V Injury MP Joint Tendon Dislocation

Zone VI/VII Injury Ø Tendons thicker Ø Treatment Core suture repair

Extensor Tendon Injury Summary Ø Anatomy Complicated Ø Treatment Simple: Repair tendon Immobilize 4 weeks Ø Outcome Dependent on associated injuries
