FDP Avulsion Injury Due to Enchondroma: A Unique Surgical Approach.

Flexor Digitorum Profundus avulsion injury associated with an enchondroma at the level of the distal phalanx is extremely rare. There have been few cases reported to date and most have been surgically managed using a screw and/or Bunnell pull-out wire technique with or without bone grafting. We describe the first case using a simple interosseus fixation technique for the reattachment of FDP tendon without bone grafting. The patient made an excellent post-operative recovery. This technique is a simple, effective, patient-friendly and internalised solution which, in addition, may prevent the need for bone grafting.
