Linburg-Comstock syndrome is characterised by an anomalous tendon slip from the flexor pollicis longus to the flexor digitorum profundus, usually of the index finger. An incidence as high as 60% to 70% has been reported. Post-traumatic inflammation of inter-tendinous connections between the flexor pollicis longus and flexor digitorum profundus, usually of the index finger, may cause unexplained chronic pain in the distal forearm. A total of 11 patients (eight females, three males), mean age 29.1 years (14 to 47) with a clinical diagnosis of Linburg-Comstock syndrome underwent surgical release of the inter-tendinous connection. The mean follow-up was for 27 months (2 to 48). Ten patients reported excellent relief of pain in the forearm, with independent flexion of flexor pollicis longus and flexor digitorum profundus to the index finger. Surgical release was an effective treatment for the Linburg-Comstock syndrome in this series.
林堡 - 康斯托克综合征的特征是存在一条异常的肌腱束带，从拇长屈肌延伸至指深屈肌，通常累及示指。据报道，其发病率高达60%至70%。拇长屈肌与指深屈肌（通常为示指的）之间腱性连接的创伤后炎症，可能导致前臂远端出现不明原因的慢性疼痛。共有11例临床诊断为林堡 - 康斯托克综合征的患者（8例女性，3例男性），平均年龄29.1岁（14至47岁），接受了腱性连接的松解手术。平均随访时间为27个月（2至48个月）。10例患者报告前臂疼痛得到显著缓解，拇长屈肌和示指指深屈肌能够独立屈曲。在本系列研究中，手术松解是治疗林堡 - 康斯托克综合征的有效方法。
