Is the "Rugby Finger" becoming the "Soccer Finger"?

A rupture of the distal insertion of the flexor digitorum profundus tendon is a serious avulsion that typically occurs when gripping a jersey. It is commonly known as the "Jersey Finger" or "Rugby Finger" in French literature. This injury, which primarily affects the ring finger (in 80% of cases), requires urgent diagnosis for optimal surgical management. Although rugby has seen a decrease in incidence thanks to advances in equipment, we present two cases that occurred in professional soccer, raising the question of whether the epidemiology of this pathology is changing. This discussion extends to the need for jerseys and refereeing rules to evolve to prevent this injury.
