An unusual late complication of mitek suture anchor use 10 years after primary repair of a flexor digitorum profundus tendon laceration: a case report and literature review.

Abstract

Flexor tendon lacerations require precise surgical repair, often using Mitek suture anchors. This report describes a recurrent infection 10 years post-FDP repair, caused by anchor migration and inflammation. Anchor removal was necessary to prevent further complications, highlighting potential long-term risks.
