[Injury rupture of flexors of the index finger complicating subcutaneous dislocations of the semilunar bone].
A case is reported here of an unusual case of rupture of the flexor tendons of the index finger in the carpal tunnel complicating a subcutaneous displacement of a lunate bone. This was combined with a carpal tunnel syndrome with hypoaesthesia. The treatment, taking account of the age of the patient and the relative tolerance to the dislocation, consisted of a simple resection of the lunate to free the medial nerve together with a partial graft of the flexor digitorum profundus.
