  • Title: Delayed sequential ruptures of the index and thumb flexor tendons due to an occult scaphoid nonunion.
    Author: Wacker J, McKie S, MacLean JG.
    Journal: J Hand Surg Br; 1999 Dec; 24(6):741-3. PubMed ID: 10672817.
    Abstract:
    A case of sequential spontaneous loss of flexion in the thumb and index finger over a 10 year period is reported. Previously unrecognized carpal collapse as a consequence of a longstanding scaphoid nonunion was identified as the cause. Fusion of the interphalangeal joint of the thumb and suture of the index profundus tendon to the middle profundus tendon resulted in a good outcome.
