Isolated neglected subcutaneous rupture of the flexor digitorum superficialis (FDS) in zone III of the hand is a rare injury that is distinct from subcutaneous rupture of the deep flexor tendons in the fingers. While a few cases have been reported in the literature, the pathophysiology of this injury remains poorly understood. In this article, we present a case study of a climber who experienced an isolated subcutaneous rupture of the FDS following a sports accident. The patient's diagnosis was initially delayed due to an unclear clinical presentation. However, surgical intervention was successfully performed, resulting in positive clinical outcomes at the one-month follow-up. This case highlights the importance of considering isolated subcutaneous rupture of the FDS as a potential injury in climbers and other individuals who engage in high-impact sports.
手部III区孤立性、被忽视的指浅屈肌（FDS）皮下断裂是一种罕见损伤，与手指深部屈肌腱的皮下断裂不同。虽然文献中报道了少数病例，但这种损伤的病理生理学仍知之甚少。在本文中，我们介绍了一名登山者在一次体育事故后发生孤立性FDS皮下断裂的病例研究。由于临床表现不明确，患者的诊断最初被延误。然而，成功进行了手术干预，在1个月的随访中取得了良好的临床效果。该病例强调了将FDS孤立性皮下断裂视为登山者和其他从事高强度运动的个体潜在损伤的重要性。
