The authors report the case of a 39-year-old woman with pain in the right dominant hand after initiating a crafts course. Clinical examination revealed tenderness on the volar side of the thumb and wrist. Simultaneous flexion of the distal interphalangeal joint of the index finger with flexion of the interphalangeal joint of the thumb was observed. Operative procedure confirmed the presumed diagnosis of an anomalous connection between the flexor pollicis longus and the flexor digitorum profundus tendon to the index finger, first described in 1979 by Linburg and Comstock.
作者报告了一名39岁女性的病例，该女性在开始参加一门手工艺课程后右手（优势手）出现疼痛。临床检查发现拇指掌侧和腕部有压痛。观察到食指远端指间关节屈曲时拇指指间关节同时屈曲。手术过程证实了屈拇长肌与食指指深屈肌腱之间存在异常连接的推测诊断，这一情况最早于1979年由林堡（Linburg）和康斯托克（Comstock）描述。
