    <Abstract>Traumatic avulsions of the flexor digitorum profundus tendon are usually presented in young adults engaged in athletic activities like football. Increased attention to injuries acquired during this form of activity is suggested. In this report the authors present a case of pure avulsion of the FDP with tendon retraction to the level of PIP (type II) and concomitant transverse fracture to distal phalanx secondary to injury during motor cycle accident.</Abstract>
