Abnormal intrasubstance increased fluid signal and fibres discontinuity is present along the course of flexor digitorum superficialis muscle tendon of the third finger right hand at the level of the metacarpophalangeal joint and proximal phalanx related to the flexor tendon tear.
No evidence of tendon retraction in the proximal segments is seen.
There is also fluid signal around the common flexor tendons due to tenosynovitis.
