Abstract
|
|
|
|
While injuries of finger flexor tendons are relatively commonly encountered trauma in orthopedic clinics, a closed rupture of these tendons is known to be rare due to their large flexibility and tension. Closed rupture of the finger flexion tendons can occur due to repeated movements following the fracture or malunion of the fingers or distal radius, and it also occurs nonspecifically among patients with autoimmune diseases. We report a case of spontaneous rupture of flexor digitorum tendons in a 49-year-old male who was diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome after received several sessions of steroid injection at the wrist joint; he was monitored for twomonths and recovered well following operation.
