In this podcast. Dr. Larry Hurst takes you through details of Mallet Finger

The classic "mallet finger" injury involves the forced flexion of the distal interphalangeal (DIP) joint while the finger is in active extension and results from the disruption in continuity of the extensor tendon over the DIP joint.
