AbstractSix cases of primary flexor tendon rupture of the little finger within the carpal tunnel are presented. All of them were attritional ruptures caused by a rough hook of the hamate. These ruptures are rare. They have their place among the flexor tendon ruptures of the wrist and the palm. Ultrasound may by helpful to determine the level of rupture. The surgical treatment consists of excision of the hook of the hamate and tendon repair.
