    Area of Science:

    • Hand surgery
    • Orthopedics
    • Anatomy

    Background:

    • Lumbrical plus finger syndrome is a rare condition causing paradoxical extension of a finger.
    • It typically results from injury or adhesions involving the lumbrical tendons.

    Observation:

    • A case of lumbrical plus finger syndrome affecting the medius (middle) finger is presented.
    • Intraoperative findings revealed fibrous adherence of the third lumbrical tendon within the flexor digitorum profundus sheath.

    Findings:

    • The pathological mechanism involves restricted lumbrical muscle function due to adhesions.
    • Surgical resection of the second lumbrical tendon was performed.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the importance of accurate diagnosis and surgical intervention for lumbrical plus finger syndrome.
    • Successful management can restore normal finger function and patient quality of life.
