This patient was diagnosed intra-operatively with a zone III intra-tendinous FDP rupture. He presented clinically with inability to actively flex the DIPJ. Jersey finger was suspected and dissection proceeded from the DIPJ proximally until the site of rupture was identified. Preoperative imaging with ultrasound or MRI may have localized the site of rupture and limited unnecessary dissection
