Closed rupture of both flexor digitorum profundus and superficialis tendons of the small finger in zone II: case report.

We report a rare case of closed rupture of both flexor digitorum profundus (FDP) and flexor digitorum superficialis tendons in zone II in the small finger. We performed delayed, primary end-to-end suture of the FDP and excision of the flexor digitorum superficialis, because myostatic contracture of the FDP tendon was not severe and the FDP tendon remnants were not frayed.

Cervical spondylolysis in a judo player: a case report and biomechanical analysis.

Study Design: A case report and a biomechanical study using a finite element method.

Objectives: To report a case with the cervical spondylolysis and to understand the biomechanics of the cervical spine with spondylolysis at C6. Cervical spondylolysis, although not a common spinal disorder, can occur in athletes.
