Case of the day: I have a 45 year old male patient who jammed his dominant ring finger on a basketball. He has difficulty in extending the PIP joint of the ring finger. When I ask him to extend the PIP joint, he is unable to actively do this, but at the same time, the DIP joint becomes rigid in extension. What is this test called? What does the test confirm? and why does the DIP joint go into extension?

So... I have a patient with a posterior interosseous nerve palsy. When I ask him/her to dorsiflex the wrist, it goes into a radial deviated position. Why does this occur? Dr GBS
