Linburg-Comstock syndrome is an acquired symptomatic restrictive thumb index finger flexor tenosynovitis involving a hypertrophic tenosynovium between flexor pollicis longus and flexor digitorum profundus. Patients may report synkinetic movement of the thumb and index finger, pain and swelling. We present the case of a woman in her 80s who presented with painless Linburg-Comstock syndrome after a trapeziectomy 4 months earlier for trapeziometacarpal arthritis. A literature review of PubMed-indexed case reports found that Linburg-Comstock syndrome has never been described in a post-trapeziectomy patient. This unusual presentation that arose as a side effect of hand surgery remains unreported in the literature. We present this unique complication as the first such case in the world. This case report is a valuable addition to the existing knowledge on the complications of trapeziectomy surgery.

The coupling of the flexor pollicis longus and flexor digitorum profundus tendons is the main pathognomonic feature of this lesion. Typically, pain is noted at the distal level of the forearm at the site of the abnormal connection. We describe a case of flexor pollicis longus tendon rupture who undergoes a carpal tunnel release, and report the Linburg-Comstock syndrome after the flexor tendon reconstruction. 저자들은 최소 절개 수근관 감압술 후 드문 합병증인 장무
