Abstract
Dislocation of the extensor tendon over the metacarpophalangeal joint (MCP) is rare. Involvement of the fifth ray is even more exceptional. The authors of the present study describe such a case that occurred in a professional musician. We report a divergent dislocation of both extensor tendons over the metacarpophalangeal joint of the fifth finger.
