Flexor digitorum profundus (FDP) avulsion fracture (a, b). A mini-hook plate captured the avulsed fragment with FDP (c, d). The patient underwent plate removal and plain radiography 6 months post-operation reveals that the osseous fragment was well united and that there was no joint subluxation. The total range of DIP joint motion was 80%, and the pinching strength was 90% compared to the values of the same contralateral joint (e, f)
