Abstract:

ResumoLesões no polegar não são tão comuns como aquelas nos dedos. Os autores relatam um caso em que a paciente sofreu uma avulsão isolada do extensor curto do polegar que resultou em instabilidade da articulação metacarpofalângica do polegar, com ligamento colateral ulnar e radial intacto.
