Busch fracture

In medicine a Busch fracture is a type of fracture of the base of the distal phalanx of the fingers, produced by the removal of the bone insertion (avulsion) of the extensor tendon. Without the apropiate treatment, the finger becomes a hammer finger. It would correspond to the group B of the Albertoni classification. It is very common in motorcycle riders and soccer joggers, caused by a hyperflection when the tendon is exercising the maximum tension (the closed hand tightening the clutch lever or the brake lever ).
