Closed tendon avulsion of both flexor tendons in the same finger is an extremely rare condition. We encountered the case of a patient who presented a rupture of the flexor digitorum profundus in zone 1 and flexor digitorum superficialis in zone 3 in the little finger. This occurrence has not been reported previously. We hereby present our case, make a review of the literature of avulsion of both flexor tendons of the same finger, and propose a treatment according to the site of the ruptures.

Abstract Case Report Closed tendon avulsion of both flexor tendons (Flexor Digitorum profundus [FDP] and Flexor Digitorum superficialais [FDS]) in the same finger is an extremely rare condition. We are proposing this subtype of injury be added as a type VI to the current Leddy and Packer classification for FDP avulsion injuries. The objective of this being an increase in awareness to avoid misdiagnosis and to aid in the subsequent management if encountered. We present the case of a 27-year-old male who presented with an avulsion of both flexor tendons from their respective insertions in the ring finger following a sporting injury causing hyperextension against an actively flexed distal interphalangeal joint. This condition has previously been reported twelve times in the literature. We propose a novel treatment method not described for previous cases and examine the successful method of treatment in this case.

Background: The aim of this study was to assess the height of nonunion formation injuring the ulnar-side finger flexor tendon, the positional relationship between the hook of the hamate and little finger flexor tendon was evaluated on CT scans. Methods: The subjects were 20 healthy patients (40 hands) (14 males and 6 females, mean age: 28 years old). Their hands were imaged in extension and flexion of the fingers on CT. The position of the little finger flexor tendon was determined regarding the height of the hook of the hamate as 100%. Results: The heights of the flexor digitorum profundus tendons were 46 ± 6% in extension and 44 ± 9% in flexion, and those of the flexor digitorum superficialis tendons were 87 ± 8% in extension and 91 ± 9% in flexion. Conclusions: Our study suggested that 40% of the base of the hook of the hamate does not contact with the flexor tendon, suggesting that flexor tendon injury is unlikely to occur in that region.

Calcific tendonitis of the hand is a rare condition. We present a case where there was extensive calcification along the flexor digitorum profundus tendon of the little finger. The patient’s symptoms resolved with non-operative management.

Tendon Avulsion

AbstractClosed avulsion of both flexor tendons is an uncommon injury pattern. We discuss a classic rugby jersey injury that resulted in avulsion of both flexor tendons with the flexor digitorum superficialis (FDS) avulsion incorporating a large fracture of the middle phalanx. To our knowledge, this pattern has been described only once in the literature. We propose a modification to the flexor tendon avulsion classification allowing incorporation of this injury pattern to help guide its management.

Closed ruptures of both normal flexor tendons in the same finger are extremely rare, only nine cases having been reported in the literature. We describe the case of a patient who sustained a closed rupture of both flexor digitorum profundus and flexor digitorum superficialis of the ring finger, following a forced hyperextension injury. The patient was treated by a two stage reconstruction of the flexor digitorum profundus. He regained full flexion and extension of the finger.
