14 y/o football injury. MRI hand. 1 Comment / Cases / By ptirmanmd Please log in or create an account to see this content.
ptirmanmd December 22, 2021 at 3:57 pm Great job, everyone nailed it! FDP rupture. Jersey finger type 1 (retracted back to the MCP). Technically a zone 1 injury where the tendon ends up in zone 3. Forced extension of a flexed DIP like when grabbing a jersey in this photo. How do you tear a tendon or ligament? Make it function and apply force in the opposite direction exceeding the threshold of restraint. Happy Holidays everyone! [gallery]
