Flexor Digitorum Profundus Tendon

Flexor digitorum profundus (FDP) tendon avulsion from the distal phalanx is a well recognised injury, which usually follows a hyperextension force to a flexed distal interphalangeal (DIP) joint. It is commonly seen in contact sport athletes, with a predilection for the ring finger.2,4 Avulsion of the FDP tendon from pathological bone is an infrequent occurrence. It has, however, been reported to occur in association with an enchondroma of the distal phalanx.2,3 To our knowledge, an FDP tendon avulsion through a recurrent enchondroma has not been reported. We present the case findings of such an event.

This case report describes the rare occurrence of a flexor digitorum profundus (FDP) avulsion of the left little finger in association with a pathological fracture of an enchondroma. The enchondroma was treated by simple curettage without bone graft. The FDP tendon was re-attached to the distal phalanx using the pull-out technique with a non-absorbable polyethylene suture. We recommend simple curettage without bone grafting in cases of enchondroma of the distal phalanx in which the bone defect is small.

We report a case of avulsion of the flexor digitorum profundus secondary to recurrent enchondroma. The tumor was curetted with bone grafting of cancellous bone from the distal radius, and the fragment avulsed by the flexor digitorum profundus tendon was fixed to its original site using a pullout suture through the distal phalanx to the nail. The lesion healed and function recovered 6 years after surgery.
