[Habitual luxation of the extensor apparatus in regard to the metacarpophalangeal joint of the fingers].
The sagittal bands of the metacarpophalangeal joint play an important role in the control of the mobility and stability of the extensor aponeurosis of the joint. A case of dislocation of the extensor tendon from rupture of the radial sagittal fibers is reported. A method of repair of the tendon is discussed. The result at one year is excellent.
