Chronic Boutonniere Deformity: Cross-Lateral Band Technique Using Palmaris Longus Autograft.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the outcomes of treatment of chronic boutonniere deformity with a reconstruction technique using palmaris longus autograft.

Materials And Methods: Seven patients with chronic, posttraumatic, flexible boutonniere deformities referred to our clinic between January 2010 and September 2014 were included in the study. In all 7 patients, the lateral bands were deficient or damaged beyond repair.

Supernumerary nostril: Congenital adrenal hyperplasia with a rare congenital anomaly.

Multiple or supernumerary nostril is a rare congenital anomaly with unknown etiology. The first case was reported by Lindsay as bilateral supernumerary nostrils. Supernumerary nostril cases are mostly unilateral and isolated.
