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.

Distal division of the flexor digitorum profundus (FDP) within 10 mm of its insertion is commonly treated in the same manner as avulsion of the FDP, using the “button” technique or bone suture anchor fixation. Button and bone suture anchor fixation techniques have been associated with significant complications. Importantly, both lead to shortening of the FDP which may cause flexion contracture at the distal interphalangeal joint. This study compared the breaking strength of a multistrand distal suture with reattachment using the “button-on-the-nail” technique in a laboratory cadaver model of distal FDP division. The data showed that multistrand distal suture repair was at least as strong as reattachment and has the theoretical advantage of avoiding some of the acknowledged complications of reattachment techniques.
