Abstract
We report a case of a Type Vb flexor digitorum profundus tendon avulsion in a patient for whom surgery was contraindicated because of a high risk of stroke if anticoagulant treatment was to be stopped. After a 6-week conservative treatment and a 3-week self-physiotherapy programme, the patient achieved a nearly full active range of motion and an excellent functional result. A radiograph demonstrated a good fracture healing. V.
