  • Title: A case study of a patient with closed avulsion rupture of a single slip of the flexor digitorum superficialis tendon.
    Author: Netscher DT, Eladoumikdachi F, Schneider A.
    Journal: Ann Plast Surg; 2001 Oct; 47(4):431-4. PubMed ID: 11601580.
    Abstract:
    A case of a closed rupture of a single slip of flexor digitorum superficialis to the little finger is described. Closed rupture injuries of the flexor digitorum profundus tendon are quite common, but closed injuries to the superficialis tendon have been rarely reported. A single slip avulsion rupture of this tendon would seem to be very uncommon. The clinical presentation is reviewed.
