A case of rupture of flexor digitorum profundus tendon of the little finger caused by calcification of the triangular fibrocartilage (TFC) is reported. At operation, a round defect of the TFC and rupture of the flexor digitorum profundus tendon (FDP) of the little finger were observed. The defect of TFC was repaired using the palmaris tendon and FDP of the little finger was woven into FDP of the ring finger. Eleven months after operation, the patient had almost full flexion and extension of the distal and proximal interphalangeal joints.
