Abstract
We report a rare case of closed rupture of both flexor digitorum profundus (FDP) and flexor digitorum superficialis tendons in zone II in the small finger. We performed delayed, primary end-to-end suture of the FDP and excision of the flexor digitorum superficialis, because myostatic contracture of the FDP tendon was not severe and the FDP tendon remnants were not frayed.
