The photograph demonstrates the inability to flex the ring finger DIP. Based on the mechanism and clinical findings this injury represents a "rugby jersey finger", which is an avulsion of the flexor digitorum profundus (FDP) tendon. Tuttle et al reviewed these injuries and concluded treatment for an acute injury is FDP tendon reinsertion. For chronic injuries, a 2-staged tendon grafting is required.
