Abstract
Hypertrophic infiltrative tendinitis (HIT syndrome) with entrapment of the long extensor tendon at the metacarpophalangeal joint occurred in an avid karate player. This syndrome is similar to trigger finger and Quervain's disease. Surgical release of this tendon was necessary. Since karate is one of the fastest growing sports in this country, the incidence of similar pathological states will probably increase and should be recognized.Keywords
