Abstract
Objectives

Dislocation of the extensors over the head of the metacarpals constitutes a rare condition in patients who do not present rheumatoid arthritis. Nevertheless, with the increase in sport activities and especially those that demand a permanent physical contact, the number of cases has been increasing.

Methods

As far as treatment its goes, it is necessary to distinguish the acute cases (less than three weeks evolution) from the chronic ones as immobilization is usually sufficient in the first case. On the other hand, it is necessary to practice some type of operation in the second case.

Results

In the present work, the results obtained on three patients with this pathology on whom surgical centralization of the tendon by means of the Kilgore technique is made known.

Keywords:
Dislocation
Extensor tendon
Boxer knuckle
Resumen
Objetivo

La luxación de los tendones extensores sobre la cabeza de los metacarpianos constituye una entidad poco frecuente en pacientes que no presentan una artritis reumatoide. Sin embargo, con el incremento de actividades deportivas, especialmente aquellas que exigen un contacto físico permanente, el número de casos ha ido aumentando.

Método

En cuanto al tratamiento se refiere, hay que distinguir los casos agudos (menos de tres semanas de evolución) de los crónicos, pues en los primeros casos suele ser suficiente la inmovilización, mientras que en los segundos es necesario practicar algún tipo de intervención quirúrgica.

Resultados

En el presente trabajo se dan a conocer los resultados obtenidos sobre tres pacientes con dicha patología y a los cuales se procedió a la centralización quirúrgica del tendón mediante técnica de Kilgore.
