An unusual complication of Mitek suture anchor use in primary treatment of flexor digitorum profundus tendon laceration: a case report
نویسندگان
چکیده
INTRODUCTION A case of an osteolysis by Mitek anchor-suture is presented. CASE PRESENTATION A case of index finger's flexor digitorum profundus tendon primary reconstruction with the use of Mitek anchor is presented here. Within a 14 month period, Mitek suture anchor caused local foreign body reaction with osteolysis and ulceration of the palmar skin of the finger while on the other hand tendon's healing was successfully completed. CONCLUSION Mitek anchor-sutures can cause an aseptic inflammatory reaction which represents a typical biologic response to a foreign body. Concomitant osteolysis can drive to loosening and migration of the implant.

Cyclic testing of pullout sutures and micro-mitek suture anchors in flexor digitorum profundus tendon distal fixation.
PURPOSE Little data exist comparing the strength of traditional methods of fixation in a flexor digitorum profundus tendon with the use of a suture anchor. In vitro cyclic testing simulating a passive mobilization protocol was used to compare the repair of a flexor digitorum profundus tendon using a single micro-Mitek anchor (Mitek, Westwood, MA) or a modified Bunnell 2-strand pullout technique...

Traumatic avulsions of the flexor digitorum profundus tendon are associated with young adults engaged in athletic activities such as football and rugby. The current report presents a case involving a 30-year-old man with traumatic avulsion of his flexor digitorum profundus and associated intra-articular distal phalangeal fracture secondary to injury during martial arts - an unusual cause of thi...
متن کاملIntrasynovial Tendon Graft for Chronic Flexor Tendon Laceration of the Finger: A Case Report
We present the case of a patient with flexor digitorum profundus tendon laceration at the A2 pulley level caused by an injury to the base of the right ring finger by a knife. The patient was treated by flexor tendon reconstruction from the palm to the fingertip by using the left second toe flexor tendon as a graft, which improved the active range of motion. Further improvement was achieved by s...
متن کاملAcute Rupture of Flexor Digitorum Profundus Tendon Associated with Distal Radius Fracture: A Case Report
Even though fractures of the distal radius are the most common fracture of the upper extremity, complications concerning the injury are relatively poorly reported. It is thought that flexor tendon ruptures associated with distal radius fracture are caused by attrition by rough surfaces of malunited fracture and irritation by fixation implants. The majority of reported cases usually presents wit...
