Mallet finger is the result of an injury to the distal (used for fingerprints) is part of the finger. This occurs when the extended finger is suddenly forced to bending. It is also known as baseball finger.
Before reading further, it would be good to see all first finger Anatomy (skip if you have already done).
Symptoms include
pain on the distal articulation of the fingerinability to extend the distal finger completelyX-ray can present a small fracture of the distal finger bone. No fracture is perceived trauma has caused a rupture of the tendon or elongation.
In this picture, you see a deformation of mallet right medius with the normal left finger shown for comparison purposes. The subject had no problem doing her daily chores, but it was rejected for recruitment in the military because of this deformation.
Treatment includes the immobilization of the articulation of distal finger extension with a brace for 4 to 6 weeks.
Prognosis is good if there is any other factor complication such as lacerations and deep scratches involving the skin and tendons.
In the absence of these factors of complications even patients had good results, which took no treatment.
