Disruption of the central slip is the primary defect leading to boutonnière deformity. In the closed injury early diagnosis of this lesion is rarely achieved due to the limitations of current methods and difficulties encountered in assessing a painful finger. We describe a simple, non-invasive method of diagnosis which can be carried out on all patients and with minimal discomfort. This test is also beneficial in monitoring the progress of conservative management of central slip disruption.

We report 20 cases of post-traumatic boutonnière deformity treated by a modification of the direct anatomical repair technique, particularly indicated in late cases which have complete passive motion. A swallow-tailed flap is excised from the fibrous tissue between the two ends of the central slip. The proximal one is then advanced up to the coaptation with the distal edge of the scarred capsular tissue at the insertion on the middle phalanx to which it is sutured in correct tension. Excellent results have been obtained in 72% of cases and good in 5.5%. The 16% of fair results are probably due to the fact that patients didn't use the splint post-operatively and didn't cooperative with physiotherapy.

After a successful Littler procedure (spiral oblique retinacular ligament reconstruction) for swan-neck deformity, a 14-year-old patient developed progressive boutonnière deformity. We propose that the problem arose from gradual tightening of the tendon transfer as the finger grew.
