This report describes a rare case of extra-articular avulsion fracture of the flexor digitorum profundus tendon in a 59-year-old man is reported. A large avulsed fragment of bone was localized by radiography on the volar side of the middle phalanx. The avulsed bone fragment had torn the A4 pulley and had been caught by the C2 pulley. The fracture was extra-articular. The avulsed fragment was fixed using a fragment fixation screw. This case was classified as a subtype of type 3 according to Leddy's classification. Only 10 cases of type 3 injury have been reported, and none of them clearly involved an extra-articular fracture.

Article Synopsis
- Heel pain can stem from issues with the Achilles tendon, calcaneus (heel bone), or plantar fascia, with Achilles tendon conditions ranging from inflammation and degeneration to potential tears.* ! -
- Common calcaneus injuries include fractures, particularly intra-articular ones, and conditions like Haglund syndrome, which may require orthotics or surgery for correction.* ! -
- Plantar fasciitis is the leading cause of heel pain, often treatable through conservative methods, but severe cases may necessitate surgical interventions like plantar fasciotomy.* !
The lateral talar dome osteochondral fracture has been described as shallow or wafer-shaped and is more likely to have an associated flake fracture than medial injuries. Displacement into the extracurricular space, however, is a rare occurrence. We present a case of ankle trauma with persistent pain and edema.

Calcaneal tuberosity avulsion fracture, an extra-articular injury, is a rare fracture caused internally by Achilles tendon driven following intense contraction of gastrocnemius-soleus complex, and externally by low-energy (possibly high-energy). Moreover, the risk of injuries of the skin and Achilles tendon around calcaneal tuberosity is closely related to Lee classification and Carnero-Martín de Soto Classification of calcaneal tuberosity avulsion fracture. Although the diagnosis confirmed by X-ray, digital imaging and computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) should also be used to evaluate soft tissue.

Purpose: The anterior inferior iliac spine (AIIS) is a frequent site of avulsion fracture in the pelvis, and these lesions could be observed mainly in teenage athletes. The present study aimed to re-evaluate the appropriate acute surgical treatment of AIIS avulsion fractures considering the three-dimensional anatomy of the supracetabular region.
Methods: This study evaluated current evidence of AIIS avulsion fracture treatments and outcomes.
