[Unusual rupture of the flexor tendon of the long fingers (author's transl)]

Rupture of the flexor tendon of the fingers occurred in three persons; one of the profundus tendon with pieces of bone, one the partial tear of the superficial tendon, and in the third rupture of both flexor tendons in finger canal due to degenerative changes. It would seem that flexor tendon rupture is more common than is generally supposed.
