Closed Rupture of Both Flexor Tendons in the Same Digit
1992
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.
