title: Closed avulsion of both flexor tendons of the ring finger.
abstract: Closed avulsion of both flexor digitorum profundus and superficialis from the same finger is rare. Only ten cases have been described in the literature. The majority were treated with a two stage reconstruction of the flexor digitorum profundus. We describe a case in which primary repair of both tendons was performed.
