The Linburg-Comstock syndrome is characterized by the inability to actively flex the interphalangeal joint of the thumb without an involuntary flexion of the distal and proximal interphalangeal joints of the index finger. The syndrome results from tendinous interconnections between the flexor pollicis longus tendon or muscle belly and the flexor digitorum profundus tendon. We report the case of a policewoman with this anomaly who had to temporarily leave her job and relocate because she could not get her gun without the risk of shooting it. To date, no previous case report has been published showing the wide-awake local anesthesia with no tourniquet (WALANT) technique as an option for surgical treatment of the Linburg-Comstock syndrome.
