Samenvatting
De mallet thumb is een zeldzaam letsel van de duim, dat gemakkelijk kan worden gemist. Tot op heden is er geen consensus over de diagnostiek en behandeling van dit letsel, conservatief of operatief. Wij presenteren een casus met de gedachtegang omtrent de diagnostiek en behandeling. Verder geven wij het belang aan van het tijdig herkennen van dit specifieke letsel.
Abstract
The mallet thumb is an injury to the thumb that is relatively rare and it may be missed as a diagnosis. There is no consensus as to how to confirm the diagnosis, nor is it clear whether conservative or operative treatment is superior. We present a case report discussing our diagnostic workup and treatment. Furthermore, we emphasize the importance to recognize this specific injury.
