Closed injuries to the extension mechanism of the digits.

Abstract:

:Injuries to the extensor mechanism create an imbalance in the precise flexion-extension system that regulates finger motion. This imbalance results in visible and functional deformities. Although these deformities are initially supple, they can become fixed and progress to joint degeneration. This article outlines early diagnosis and accurate treatment of the most common extensor tendon injuries. Avoidance of late sequellae is the goal.

  • Pediatric humeral condyle fractures.

    abstract::Condylar and epicondylar fractures differ from other pediatric upper extremity fractures because of the anatomy and ossification of the distal humerus. These fractures are prone to nonunion,and initial deformities do not remodel well. Radiographic diagnosis and severity are difficult to determine, and adjunct studies,...
