Abstract
Objectives: The Jersey finger is a rare form of closed flexor tendon rupture. It is classified by modified Leddy-Packer classification and divided into five groups. There is no consensus on treatment. There is not much study on the finger of Jersey. Methods: Eleven patients who underwent surgical treatment for the last five years were evaluated retrospectively. VPS and ROM ratio values used for assessment of clinical outcomes. Results: The duration of surgery, the surgical method used, the type of injury did not affect the clinical outcome. Only side of injury had significantly difference (lefts outcomes better). In jersey finger patients with bone avulsion, had an x-ray image resembling a pin-hole. Conclusion: The Jersey finger is an FDP injury that is common in the sporting young male age, often related to the dominant hand, and often retracted to the A3 pulley. Both pullout or anchor repair methods give satisfactory results. In patients with bone avulsion, radiographs of the distal phalanx on the distal phalanx should show the appearance of a pinhole.make italic
