    Journal: Bull Hosp Jt Dis; 2000; 59(4):183-8. PubMed ID: 11409236.
    Abstract:
    In summary, there is a complex interplay between the extrinsic and intrinsic components of the digital extensor mechanism. Numerous examples of dynamic anatomy and pathology of the extensor mechanism in common clinical settings have been described. Treatment principles have been outlined. This review should provide the orthopaedic surgeon with a framework for management of common hand problems.
