On my test environment (Linux with GNU userland), something like this would appear to do what you need:
So the idea is to use GNU find, with the -regextype and -regex flags, to search for things that match your precise pattern, with that pattern defined as an egrep-compatible regex.
To be specific, our pattern matches things the name of which starts with a single 'f', is followed by one or more digits, the letters 'gr', and then none or more of anything else at all before the end of the name.
Hope this helps. If it doesn't quite work then if you can let me know where it falls down we can take things from there.

re_exec
RE_COMP(3) Linux Programmer's Manual RE_COMP(3)NAME
re_comp, re_exec - BSD regex functions
SYNOPSIS
#define _REGEX_RE_COMP
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <regex.h>
char *re_comp(char *regex);
int re_exec(char *string);
DESCRIPTION
re_comp() is used to compile the null-terminated regular expression pointed to by regex. The compiled pattern occupies a static area, the
pattern buffer, which is overwritten by subsequent use of re_comp(). If regex is NULL, no operation is performed and the pattern buffer's
contents are not altered.
re_exec() is used to assess whether the null-terminated string pointed to by string matches the previously compiled regex.
RETURN VALUE
re_comp() returns NULL on successful compilation of regex otherwise it returns a pointer to an appropriate error message.
re_exec() returns 1 for a successful match, zero for failure.
CONFORMING TO
4.3BSD.
NOTES
These functions are obsolete; the functions documented in regcomp(3) should be used instead.
