Abstract
Flexor tendon rupture at the wrist or palm is rare. We present a case of index flexor digitorum profundus rupture at the level of the wrist associated with the site of a laceration 55 years earlier. Associated pathology included a large neuroma-in-continuity of the median nerve and adhesions involving the flexor digitorum superficialis tendons. The rupture was treated by tenodesis to the relatively unaffected flexor digitorum profundus to the adjacent long finger.
