Flexor Digitorum Profundus Test



Isolate the distal interphalangeal joint over the edge of the table and observe for flexion at this joint to perform the Boyes' test.

Inability to flex at the DIP may indicate a partial or complete tear of the flexor digitorum profundus, also known as Jersey finger.
