Abstract
We present a case of a congenital form of a boutonniere deformity involving both little fingers with a poorly differentiated extensor mechanism and the absence of the tendinous attachment on the dorsal aspect of the middle phalanx. This complex deformity was evaluated histologically followed by successful reconstruction of the central slip.
