Abstract
Attrition ruptures of flexor tendons to the fingers following Colles’ fractures are very rare. In the case reported here, a protruding bony fragment caused a delayed rupture of the flexor digitorum profundus tendon to the index finger one year after a fracture of the distal end of the radius. Suture of the distal end of the tendon to the adjacent profundus tendon two years after the fracture produced a successful result.Keywords
