Bilateral avulsion of ring finger flexor digitorum profundus tendons during contact sport: a case report. Hand surgery : an international journal devoted to hand and upper limb surgery and related research : journal of the Asia-Pacific Federation of Societies for Surgery of the Hand [Hand Surg] Journal article

We report on the case of a 14-year-old patient with bilateral avulsion of flexor digitorum profundus (FDP) in both ring fingers. This was noted four days after a basketball match. At surgical exploration both FDP were ruptured with the ends located at A2 and A3 pulleys. These were repaired with excellent functional results. While FDP avulsions can often occur affecting the ring finger this is the first reported case of a patient presenting with a bilateral injury affecting the ring finger on both sides.
