Scenario
A member of your boys’ high school basketball team, a guard, just injured his finger when attempting to catch a pass on a fast-break. The ball apparently hit the finger on the tip and the player states that he felt or heard something snap or pop on impact. On evaluation you note a deformity in that the distal interphalangeal (DIP) joint of the middle finger on his right hand is in a slightly flexed position and he is unable to extend the joint. You also note that he has point tenderness on the dorsal surface of the base of the distal phalanx directly over the site of the insertion of the extensor digitorum tendon. Based on this history and findings, what would you conclude? What first aid treatment would you recommend?
