Camptodactyly resulting from anatomical variation of lumbrical muscles: imaging findings.

Abstract

We report three cases of camptodactyly in adolescent patients, presenting with a passive flexion deformity of the fifth finger. Ultrasound findings include aberrant lumbrical insertion and decreased lumbrical size, confirmed with magnetic resonance imaging, and aberrant dynamics. Surgery confirmed these findings in one patient. To the best of our knowledge, these imaging findings have not been reported previously.
