title: [Are "Busch fracture", "avulsion fracture of the extensor tendon" or "fracture of the dorsal terminal finger joint" synonyms? Anatomic studies of the insertion of the extensor aponeurosis and significance in hand surgery].
abstract: With the help of thick transparent cross-sections of fingers, it has been shown that fibers of the extensor aponeurosis insert distal to the avulsed fragment of the distal phalanx. The consequence for hand surgery is not to expose the fragment through a dorsal incision but through a mid-lateral one. In this way, the distant parts of the aponeurosis distal to the fracture remain intact and there is no break in the continuation of the dorsal extensior plate.
