Abstract
- We report a case of complete laceration of both flexor tendons in the dominant ring finger of a young male caused by a closed volar fracture fragment of the proximal phalanx. Careful clinical examination, reasonable index of suspicion and ultrasound confirmation play a pivotal role in the diagnosis and surgical planning of this rare yet consequential injury. Good outcomes can be achieved from the surgical management and rehabilitation of both soft tissue and bony injuries when planning of surgical approaches and fixation techniques are facilitated by an accurate pre-operative diagnosis.
