ABSTRACT
We present the case of a rock climber with a rupture of the A3 flexor sheath pulley. The diagnosis was confirmed with Colour Doppler Imaging (CDI) and with B-mode ultrasound imaging, and the surgical repair was evaluated in the same way. Vertical displacement of the flexor tendon meant that using CDI measurements of the longitudinal movements was not possible. However, using computer analysis of digitized B-mode images from texture patterns identified in the tendons, the vertical and longitudinal components of movement during flexion were calculated. The repair of the pulley was shown to produce tendon movement ratios nearer those of the control digit of the opposite hand.
