Abstract
Rupture of the flexor tendon due to closed direct trauma is rare ( 1 Hofmeister E.P. Craven Jr, C.E. Zone I rupture of the flexor digitorum profundus tendon caused by blunt trauma: a case report. J Hand Surg [Am]. 2008; 33: 247-249 Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (9) Google Scholar ). Generally, flexor tendon injuries are diagnosed easily. However, pain, swelling, a closed wound, and non-cooperation can make the diagnosis more difficult ( 2 Wang P.T. Bonavita J.A. DeLone Jr, F.X. et al. Ultrasonic assistance in the diagnosis of hand flexor tendon injuries. Ann Plast Surg. 1999; 42: 403-407 Crossref PubMed Scopus (30) Google Scholar ).
