Abstract

We report a traumatic rupture of the extensor hood of the dominant middle finger in an elite boxer. Surgical repair of the extensor hood with the metacarpophalangeal joint (MCPJ) in 90° of flexion and immobilisation of the MCPJ in flexion for 4 weeks allowed successful return of function to an international level.
