Abstract
It is difficult to repair a flexor digitorum profundus tendon avulsion injury when the avulsed bone fragment is too small to hold a fixation device. We present a method to address this problem, using a 1-hole hooked device to hold and fix the avulsed bone fragment and flexor digitorum profundus tendon. This is a simple procedure with fewer complications than traditional techniques.
