Abstract
Nine patients are described with closed traumatic rupture of the digital flexor pulley system. All presented with significant flexion contractures of the proximal interphalangeal joint and bow-stringing of the flexor tendons. In seven patients, the pathology was verified at surgery and pulley reconstruction provided a good result. The diagnoses in the other patients, treated conservatively, were verified by tenogram and magnetic resonance imaging.Entities:
