OCAD MSK

History

65 y/o M with PIP deformity for years. Arthritis?

Figure 1 for case volar plate tear of proximal interphalangeal joint of finger ( RID2413 ) — Figure 1

Figure 2 for case volar plate tear of proximal interphalangeal joint of finger ( RID2413 ) — Figure 2

Figure 3 for case volar plate tear of proximal interphalangeal joint of finger ( RID2413 ) — Figure 3

Discussion

Although arthritis was questioned, this was most likely postraumatic arthrosis and a volar plate injury. There is extension of the PIP and no associated mallet finger in this case. Reference article.
