Abstract

An 18-year-old woman with congenital flexion contractures of the ulnar three digits bilaterally is presented. She had a three-generation family history of this disorder with autosomal dominant inheritance. Magnetic resonance imaging scan of the wrist and forearm was used to demonstrate a hypoplasia of the digital extensor muscles and tendons.
