Avulsion of flexor digitorum profundus secondary to enchondroma of the distal phalanx. Case report and literature review

M Arthozoul et al. Chir Main. 2015 Sep.

Abstract

We report an unusual case of avulsion of the flexor digitorum profundus tendon of the ring finger at its insertion, in combination with a pathological fracture of the distal phalanx due to enchondroma. The bone lesion was curetted and grafted using autogenous bone. The FDP tendon was reattached to the distal phalanx using the pullout technique. We describe this case in detail and discuss the surgical management through a review of literature.
