Medical Report
Context is medical report on broken finger.
The term is used in quotes, in the following sentence:
u eztenziji prst lagano "bježi" u abdukciju
Obviously, this can't be "flees"...
Maybe, the finger weakly pulls upon abduction??
Thanks for the help!

extension of the finger results in its gradual abduction
I'm out of my depth here, but this might mean that when the finger is extended ("u eztenziji"?), it slowly moves away from the center line of the hand (which is what abduction is, according to Wikipedia). This would be an involuntary movement. The finger does this by itself. Hence "bježi".

Comment: "Thanks Pavle, I did more research and your explanation seems exactly right. VPUHING's suggestion of "drifts" is an excellent choice of words.
Thanks, Eric"
