title: [Management of the avulsion of the flexor pollicis longus and flexor indicis profundus tendons by tendon transfer. Case report].
abstract: Tendon injuries are common in hand wounds and their functional consequences are not negligible. In emergency, tendon repairs techniques are well codified to restore function. These tendon repairs can be made in one session, in two sessions, or even use tendon transfers. Tendon transfers are not usual in the emergency but more common in the treatment of sequelae or failure of primary repair. We report one case of transfer to restore thumb flexion in emergency.
