title: Late reconstruction of sagittal band laceration.
abstract: Injuries to the sagittal band with subsequent instability of the extensor digitorum communis tendon are uncommon. In an unusual presentation, a laceration to the radial sagittal band of the little finger was manifest as an abduction deformity of the digit. This injury was treated by repair of the sagittal band and extensor digiti minimi tendon transfer.
