✦ Synopsis

Abstract

Flexor digitorum tendon entrapment is a known complication of proximal phalangeal fractures and is commonly diagnosed clinically. However, it can sometimes be subtle and may not be suspected initially. A case of proximal phalangeal fracture of the index finger complicated by entrapment of the flexor digitorum profundus tendon is presented in which the diagnosis was made based on sonographic findings subsequently confirmed by CT and later surgical findings. This case demonstrates that tendon entrapment complicating phalangeal fractures can be diagnosed using sonography. Β© 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Clin Ultrasound, 2008.

Early motion following tendon repair has been shown to be effective in reducing adhesions between the tendon and the surrounding sheat

## Abstract We report the case of a 23‐year‐old male presenting with carpal tunnel syndrome and a swelling over the flexor surface of the wrist. MRI findings were initially suggestive of a median nerve schwannoma but sonography (US) showed a heterogenous mass infiltrating the flexor tendons of the
