A rare presentation of flexor digitorum profundus type V avulsion injury with associated intra-articular fracture: A case report.

Traumatic avulsions of the flexor digitorum profundus tendon are associated with young adults engaged in athletic activities such as football and rugby. The current report presents a case involving a 30-year-old man with traumatic avulsion of his flexor digitorum profundus and associated intra-articular distal phalangeal fracture secondary to injury during martial arts – an unusual cause of this injury. Increased attention to injuries acquired during this form of sporting activity is suggested.
