AI-powered mallet finger review for terminal extensor tendon injury, dorsal avulsion fracture, DIP joint subluxation, and bony mallet patterns on X-ray or MRI.
Mallet finger is an injury to the terminal extensor tendon at the DIP joint. The tendon may tear without a visible fracture, or it may pull off a small piece of bone from the distal phalanx. X-rays are important because a large bony fragment or DIP subluxation can change treatment planning. MRI or ultrasound can show the tendon gap when the X-ray is normal but the fingertip cannot actively extend.
The visible droop can come from a pure tendon tear or a bony avulsion. X-ray helps show whether the joint surface is involved and whether the DIP joint remains aligned. Those details affect splinting strategy and whether a hand specialist should review the injury urgently.
AI can highlight imaging features such as fragment size and DIP subluxation, but it cannot decide treatment on its own. Surgery decisions depend on the imaging, skin condition, timing, hand use, symptoms, and a clinician's exam.
