  • Title: Flexor digitorum profundus tendon rupture associated with distal radius fracture malunion: a case report.
    Author: Ishii T, Ikeda M, Kobayashi Y, Mochida J, Oka Y.
    Journal: Hand Surg; 2009; 14(1):35-8. PubMed ID: 19598320.
    Abstract:
    We present a case of subcutaneous flexor tendon rupture of the index finger following malunion of a distal radius fracture. The cause of the tendon rupture was mechanical attrition due to a bony prominence at the palmar joint rim in the distal radius due to malunion. Corrective osteotomy and the Sauvé-Kapandji procedure were carried out for the wrist pain and forearm rotation disability and a tendon graft was carried out for the flexor tendon rupture. Recovery was satisfactory.
