    Author: Forward KE, Yazdani A, Lim R.
    Journal: Pediatr Emerg Care; 2017 Oct; 33(10):e103-e104. PubMed ID: 28968312.
    Abstract:
    A mallet finger is a flexion deformity of a finger at the distal interphalangeal joint due to an injury of the extensor mechanism at the base of the distal phalanx. Most common in middle-aged men, injuries in the pediatric population are less common and rare in toddlers. We describe a case of missed mallet finger and its subsequent treatment in a female toddler.
