Flexor Digitorum

Traumatic musculotendinous junction avulsions are rare injuries except in avulsion amputations. They pose a significant challenge to the treating surgeon. We present a 24-year-old male who sustained an open musculotendinous avulsion of the flexor pollicis longus tendon. He was treated with primary tendon transfer using the flexor digitorum superficialis of ring finger, in flexor zone 3. The functional result at 10 months following surgery was excellent.

Flexor Digitorum

Delayed rupture of a flexor tendon in the hand due to the presence of a retained foreign body is rare. We present the case of a late flexor pollicis longus rupture 30 years after traumatic implantation of a glass fragment. The foreign body had migrated distally a distance of 4.5 cm from the site of the original injury and eroded into the flexor tendon sheath. Thumb function was restored with a flexor digitorum superficialis tendon transfer from the ring finger with excellent results.

Flexor Digitorum

A rare case of rupture of the flexor pollicis longus tendon following a Colles’ fracture is described. The patient also had a ruptured flexor digitorum profundus to the index finger and compression of the median nerve of the same hand. The ruptures were noted after four weeks of plaster immobilisation. Decompression of the median nerve and corrective osteotomy was performed but no tendon repair was attempted. The patient regained good function of the hand.
