Abstract
Closed traumatic rupture of both flexor tendons in a finger in absence of any disease is a rare entity to confront. We present a case of closed traumatic rupture of both flexor digitorum profundus and flexor digitorum superficialis in zone II right little finger in a 24 years old healthy male. The injury was caused due to sudden extension force in a flexed finger. Primary repair of only flexor digitorum profundus was performed with complete functional recovery at four months of follow up. This injury, though rare, is sustained due to forceful extension of the flexed little finger, a mechanism of injury very possible in troops actively deployed in operations in difficult conditions. Prompt recognition and appropriate treatment are required for optimal functional outcome.
