Abstract

Stenosing tenovaginitis of the thumb in infants involves the flexor pollicis longus and presents itself as a fixed flexion deformity of the interphalangeal joint. Unless one is familiar with the condition, it may be considered a dislocation at the interphalangeal joint. The results of splitting the narrowed sheath are uniformly good and this is the only treatment of value.
