A Rare Cause of Thumb Boutonniere Deformity: Flexor Pulley Rupture

We report a rare case of thumb boutonniere deformity secondary to closed rupture of thumb flexor pulley. The postulation of the development of boutonniere deformity, anatomical and biomechanical basis, and current treatment options are discussed. 我們報告一個拇指鈕扣花畸形的罕見原因，是由於閉合性拇指屈肌腱鞘滑車系統破裂。我們會提出有關拇指鈕扣花畸形形...

Summary:We report a rare case of thumb boutonniere deformity secondary to closed rupture of thumb flexor pulley. The postulation of the development of boutonniere deformity, anatomical and biomechanical basis, and current treatment options are discussed. 我們報告一個拇指鈕扣花畸形的罕見原因，是由於閉合性拇指屈肌腱鞘滑車系統破裂。我們會提出有關拇指鈕扣花畸形形成的理論， 並討論其解剖學和生物力學上的基本原理及現今的治療方案。
