title: [Correction of the deformed hand in Parkinson disease].
abstract: The typical hand deformity of Parkinsonism consists of metacarpophalangeal joint flexion and interphalangeal joint extension. An unusual case of a claw hand deformity in a patient with Parkinson's disease is described with hyperextension in the metacarpophalangeal joints and flexion in the interphalangeal joints. The operative technique to improve the marked limitation in hand function is described.
