We present an extremely rare case of avulsion injury of the flexor digitorum profundus and the flexor digitorum superficialis tendons associated with fracture of the distal phalanx and bone bruise of the proximal phalangeal base of the small finger. Because of the nondisplaced transverse fracture of the distal phalanx, the early diagnosis of the injury was missed. The patient was treated with two-stage flexor tendon graft and the outcome was acceptable.
