Flexor tendon sheath haematoma: a case report.
An open finger injury reported here was diagnosed as a division of the flexor tendons of the little finger. However, surgical exploration revealed intact tendons encased in a tense flexor tendon sheath haematoma. Decompression of the haematoma led to a satisfactory recovery of finger function.
