Closed rupture of the flexor digitorum profundus tendon of little finger: A case report
Abstract: Closed rupture of the FOP tendon is rare. However, whenever they occur the most common site of rupture is the tendon-bone insertion, less frequent site is at the musculo-tendinous junction. Midsubstance ruptures are even more unique and are usually due to underlying pathology such as fracture, cystic degeneration, rheumatoid arthritis, or sequel following local steroid injection. This report describes a closed rupture of FOP tendon of little finger. Mechanism of injury, diagnosis and management are discussed.
