Closed intratendinous ruptures of flexor tendons are uncommon. Two such cases that occurred within the lumbrical origin are reported. Accurate history taking and clinical examination usually enable the site of rupture to be determined. Ultrasound examination can also help to localize the site. The role of the lumbrical, extrinsic flexors and trauma in the aetiology of the rupture are discussed.
屈肌腱闭合性肌腱内断裂并不常见。本文报告了两例发生在蚓状肌起点处的此类病例。准确的病史采集和临床检查通常能够确定断裂部位。超声检查也有助于定位断裂部位。本文还讨论了蚓状肌、外在屈肌和创伤在该断裂病因中的作用。
