Abstract
Flexor digitorum profundus avulsions, are well-documented injuries occasionally associated with a distal phalanx fragment. While the injury may involve primarily either tendon or bone, a rarely observed variant combines both tendon and bone avulsions. A type IV variant seen after two sequential injuries is described.
