Treatment of swan neck deformity in cerebral palsy.
Journal of Hand Surgery 2014 April
Swan neck deformity in patients with cerebral palsy can result from hand intrinsic muscle spasticity or overpull of the digital extensors.

Accurate diagnosis and application of the proper surgical technique are essential when treating swan neck deformity in patients with cerebral palsy.
