title: [An unusual post-traumatic contracture of the hand--2 cases].
abstract: Extreme flexor tendon contractures following blunt injury are seldom described. Unsatisfactory final results after such an injury in the hand and wrist regions in two young female patients with mental defect are described. All conservative methods of treatment were useless and extensive MP- and PIP-arthrodeses were necessary.
