Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic surgery
  • Hand surgery
  • Traumatology

Background:

  • Flexor digitorum profundus (FDP) avulsion injuries result from forced hyperextension of the distal interphalangeal joint (DIPJ).
  • These injuries often require surgical intervention for optimal recovery.

Observation:

  • A case report details the fixation of an FDP avulsion injury.
  • The technique involved utilizing a single hole of a plate with a cortical screw acting as a washer.

Findings:

  • This fixation method provides a stable construct for FDP avulsion injuries.
  • Literature review supports the efficacy of screw and plate fixation in similar cases.

Implications:

  • This technique presents a potentially simpler and effective approach to FDP avulsion repair.
  • Further studies may validate this method for broader clinical application in hand trauma.
