KIRNER'S DEFORMITY OF THE LITTLE FINGER: A CASE REPORT WITH LITERATURE REVIEW

Abstract

Kirner`s deformity or dystelephalangy is a rare entity which presents with painless, progressive, bilateral radio-volar curving of terminal phalanx of little fingers. It is a clinico-radiological diagnosis. Here-in, we present a similar case with brief review of literature. Given the rarity of the deformity, we believe it useful to present our case report as a further contribution to the literature.

Keywords : Kirner`s deformity, fifth/little finger, radio-volar angulation.
