Abstract

62 patients with camptodactyly of the little finger have been reviewed, and only five cases failed to respond to conservative treatment. These cases are reported. One patient could straighten the deformed PIP joint with snapping, and the other two were resistant to conservative treatment and were found to have a restraining structure requiring release. These findings are in keeping with an imbalance between flexion and extension forces due to long-standing malposition of the extensor lateral bands. Operative treatment should be reserved for cases of failed conservative treatment, which should be started as early as possible.
