title: [Subcutaneous profundus tendon rupture--reconstruction or primary arthrodesis].
abstract: Subcutaneous rupture of the flexor tendon is not as rare as described. Between 1972-1982 14 patients with ruptured flexor tendons were treated at the accident hospital in Linz. The average age was 34.8 years. In most of the cases we use primary arthrodesis with the Harrison-Nicolle-Peg, because the external fixation is very short and the method gives secure ankylosis or arthrodesis of the distal finger joint.
