title: Simultaneous flexion of the thumb and index finger after a fracture of the first metacarpal bone. A case report.
abstract: We report a case in which simultaneous flexion of the thumb and index finger occurred after a fracture of the 1st metacarpal bone. This was demonstrated to be due to a fibrous adhesion around an anomalous slip between the tendons of flexor pollicis longus and flexor digitorum profundus indicis.
