J Hand Surg Br. 1995 Feb;20(1):78-9. doi: 10.1016/s0266-7681(05)80022-1.

Abstract

Closed avulsion of both flexor digitorum profundus and superficialis from the same finger is rare. Only ten cases have been described in the literature. The majority were treated with a two stage reconstruction of the flexor digitorum profundus. We describe a case in which primary repair of both tendons was performed.
