Abstract:
Owing to unique biomechanical loading on hand during rock climbing, finger flexor tendon pulleys injury commonly occurred in rock climbers. Although several previous reports showed clinical manifestations and treatment outcomes of flexor tendon pulleys injuries, it has not yet been reported in South Korea. The authors experienced a 29-year-old female patient who sustained digital flexor tendon pulleys injuries while rock climbing. Therefore, we reported this case with a literature review.
