TY - JOUR PY - 2005// TI - Prolonged use of electronic games-a word of caution JO - Injury A1 - Mandal, Anirban A1 - Imran, Danish A1 - Erdmann, M. SP - 218 EP - 219 VL - 36 IS - 1 N2 - Post-traumatic hyperextension deformity of the thumb due to rupture of volar plate is a rare but clinically important phenomenon. These injuries are usually related to ball sports like basketball and handball. However, we describe an unusual association in an elderly patient with chronic use of an electronic game, which merits a high index of suspicion for early diagnosis and treatment to prevent long-term complications.
