A corticosteroid injection for trigger finger preceded a rare spontaneous rupture of both small finger flexor tendons (flexor digitorum superficialis and flexor digitorum profundus). This case highlights a unique complication and emphasizes patient education on activity post-injection.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Hand Surgery
  • Musculoskeletal Injuries

Background:

  • Finger flexor tendon injuries typically result from trauma.
  • Spontaneous ruptures are rare but can occur due to underlying pathological processes weakening the tendon.
  • Corticosteroid injections are a common treatment for trigger finger.
