Delayed Rupture of Extensor Tendons of Index Finger—An Unusual Complication after Distal Radius Fracture Fixation with Intramedullary nail: A Case Report and Review of Literature

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Delayed rupture of extensor tendons of hand can occur due to a variety of reasons. Post-traumatic attrition rupture of extensor pollicis longus (EPL) tendon following distal radius fractures is well known. We report an extremely rare case of isolated rupture of both the extensor digitorum communis (EDC) and extensor indicis proprius (EIP) tendons of index finger due to intramedullary nailing without EPL rupture.
