Abstract

Flexor digitorum profundus (FDP) tears in adolescents appear as avulsion tears in the FDP tendon, whereas longitudinal tears are very rare. Moreover, there has been only one reported case of intratendinous fibroma occurring in the flexor tendon of a finger. A longitudinal tear of the flexor profundus tendon associated with an intratendinous fibroma has not been previously reported. We report one case of a longitudinal partial tear accompanied by an intratendinous fibroma at the FDP tendon of the left middle finger after a hyperextension injury caused by the impact of a baseball. Given the rarity of longitudinal flexor tendon tears in adolescents, in such cases, the possibility of an underlying pathology should be considered.

청소년에서 심수지굴곡건 파열은 주로 견열 파열로 나타나며 종적 파열은 매우 드물다. 수지의 굴곡건에 발생하는 건내 섬유종의 보고는 지금까지 1예가 있었지만, 건내 섬유종과 관련된 심수지굴곡건의 종파열은 아직까지 보고된 바 없었다. 저자들은 야구 중 충격에 의한 과신전 손상을 받은 이후 좌측 3수지의 건내 섬유종과 동반된 심수지굴곡건의 종 파열을 보고한다. 청소년에서 굴곡건의 종 파열은 드물지만 발생한 경우 병적 질환에 의한 파열일 수 있음을 고려하여야 하겠다.
