Neglected flexor tendon injury for 10 years un-usual finding and one stage repair without free tendon graft: Case report

摘要

In delayed or neglected cases of flexor tendon injury, reconstruction of flexor digitorum profundus (FDP) is usually performed using free tendon graft due to the retraction of tendon ends and shortening of the tendon. Flexor digitorum superficialis (FDS), palmaris longus or plantaris tendons can be used as a free tendon graft [1–3].
