Biomechanical Study of Extensor Tendon Lacerations Over the Finger Metacarpophalangeal Joints

Purpose: To assess the percentages of extensor tendon lacerations over the finger metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joints that may lead to an MCP joint extensor lag. Methods: We obtained 8t fresh-frozen cadaveric hand specimens. The extensor and flexor tendons were isolated for simulated active extension a...
