Frostbite sequelae in fingers: Radial deviation with flexion deformities
The photographs (panels A and B) and plain radiograph (panel C) above are taken of a 12-year-old girl who sustained severe frostbite at 2 years. Panel A: Photographs taken soon after thawing. Panel B: Photographs show radial deviations of the 2nd (index finger) through 4th (ring finger) distal and middle interphalangeal joints of both hands with mild flexion deformities. Panel C: Plain radiograph of the patient's left hand showing absence of the epiphyses of the distal and middle phalanges of all fingers of the 2nd through 4th fingers.
