A 55-year-old farmer presented with a trigger finger eight weeks after an apparently benign laceration of the palm. Rupture of one slip of the flexor digitorum superficialis with herniation over the proximal pulley was found at open operation. Excision of the proximal slip solved the problem and there was no recurrence.
