“…Recent studies have suggested conservative treatment for single pulley rupture without clinical bowstringing [1,33]. A surgical treatment with operative pulley reconstruction was proposed for combined pulley rupture for patients with evidence of clinical bowstringing and/or a loss of full range of motion [1,20,34,35]. Radiological imaging of pulley ruptures is recommended for managing the treatment and predicting the clinical outcome [12,13,24].…”

“…Following standard procedure for multiple pulley ruptures, we set the indication for surgical repair. On 25 March, we performed the surgery using a modified ‘one-and-a-half-loop’ and ‘Weilby’ technique,2 for which a palmaris longus reconstruction of the same arm was used. Subsequent after-treatment was arranged following our standard ‘pulley schema’, which provides immobilisation in a splint (intrinsic plus position) for the first 2 weeks, followed by a 4 week mobilisation phase with pulley protection (thermoplastic pulley protection ring).…”

“…For exact evaluation, we investigated different indicators: for the clinical outcome, we used the Buck-Gramcko score, which showed an excellent result2; the functional outcome was good,2 as there was a minor extension deficit in the PIP joint, subjective loss of strength only in the crimping position and normal motion pattern 2. The sport-specific outcome was also good,2 as the patient had a full-load capacity of the former injured finger in the hanging position, a minor loss of strength in the crimping position and a nearly full climbing ability without any pain (general reduction of climbing intensity due to new professional position).…”
