Flexor digitorum profundus avulsions are common, but a rare variant involves both tendon and bone. This case describes a type IV variant resulting from two sequential injuries.

Area of Science:

Orthopedic Surgery
Sports Medicine
Traumatology

Background:

Flexor digitorum profundus (FDP) avulsions are known injuries, often involving the distal phalanx.
These injuries typically affect either the tendon or bone primarily.

Observation:

A rare variant of FDP avulsion combines both tendon and bone avulsions.
This specific case presents a type IV variant.

Findings:

The type IV variant occurred after two sequential injuries.
This highlights a complex presentation of FDP avulsion.

Implications:

Understanding this rare variant is crucial for accurate diagnosis and treatment.
It expands the classification of FDP avulsion injuries.

Further research into sequential injury mechanisms is warranted.
