Abstract
We report the results of 12 patients followed for post traumatic and chronic boutonniere deformity treated by dorsalizing the lateral bands and tightening the central slip. Thanks to its multiple technical and biomechanical advantages, this procedure allowed 10 patients to recover a near complete curling of the finger with a pulp-to-palm distance less than 0.5 cm. The average residual active extension defect was 9 degrees.
