Closed avulsion of both flexor tendons of the ring finger

K M Cheung et al. J Hand Surg Br. 1995 Feb.

Abstract

Closed avulsion of both flexor digitorum profundus and superficialis from the same finger is rare. Only ten cases have been described in the literature. The majority were treated with a two stage reconstruction of the flexor digitorum profundus. We describe a case in which primary repair of both tendons was performed.
