The flexor digitorum longus tendon is susceptible to injury along its entire course, and lacerations, ruptures, longitudinal tears, and stenosing tenosynovitis have all been reported. Moreover, this tendon is commonly used for reconstruction of dysfunctional posterior tibial and Achilles tendons. Traditionally, surgery involving the flexor digitorum longus tendon was performed via open incision. We describe a technique of flexor digitorum longus tendoscopy that may encourage the future development of a minimally invasive approach to flexor digitorum longus tendon procedures.
