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.

Current Classification System

Four cases of avulsion of the insertion of the flexor digitorum profundus tendon with an osseous fragment are presented. In each case, there was another significant fracture of the distal phalanx. The current classification system for flexor profundus avulsions is reviewed and an extended classification is offered which considers such avulsions.

This study was done to identify whether the dimensions of the distal phalanges allow suture anchor fixation of the flexor digitorum profundus tendon. Forty pairs of hands were dissected to measure the anteroposterior and lateral dimensions of distal phalanges of all digits. The mean anteroposterior depth of the distal phalanx at the insertion of the tendon was found to be 4.7 mm for the little finger, 5.4 mm for the ring finger, 5.9 mm for the middle finger, 5.4 mm for the index finger and 6.9 mm for the thumb respectively. The commonly available anchors and drill bits for fingers were found to be suboptimal for anchoring the flexor digitorum profundus tendon to the distal phalanx of the little finger. The drill bits used for these anchors were found to be too long for the little fingers and some ring and index fingers.

An unusual Salter type 2 fracture of the distal phalanx is described. The metaphyseal fragment of the fracture consisted of a long and thin plate of bone corresponding to the insertion site of the flexor digitorum profundus tendon. Differences between this combined fracture and the isolated mallet deformity or flexor profundus tendon avulsion fracture are discussed.

An avulsion of the profundus tendon associated with a chondroma of the distal phalanx is presented. The injury occurred during housework and the tendon avulsion can be explained by a weakness of the profundus tendon insertion.

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.
