Busch fracture, also known as baseball finger, is a type of fracture of the base of the distal phalanx of the finger, due to being pull on by the extensor tendon.[1][2] Without treatment, a hammer finger may result.

It is common in motorcycle riders and soccer joggers, caused by hyperflexion when the tendon is exercising its maximum tension (the closed hand tightening the clutch lever or the brake lever).[3][4] The underlying mechanism is an avulsion fracture of the distal phalanx by the attached tendon.[5][6][7] It corresponds to the group B of the Albertoni classification.[8]

It is named after Friedrich Busch (1844-1916), who described the fracture in the 1860s. Busch's work was drawn on by Albert Hoffa in 1904, resulting in it sometimes being called a "Busch-Hoffa fracture".[9]
