Abstract
We report 26 cases of hyperextension injury of the MP joint of the thumb. These were classified into the following three categories; dorsal dislocation of the MP joint or volar plate avulsion; locking of the MP joint and fracture of the sesamoid bone. We report the pathomechanics and clinical features of these injuries.Keywords
