Original Source: Extensor pollicis longus rupture after distal radius fracture: Results of reconstruction by transposition of the extensor indicis tendon and postoperative dynamic splinting.
Injury of the extensor pollicis longus tendon is one of the commonest extensor tendon injuries after distal radius fracture. In 2003-2005 we performed extensor indicis transfer in 31 patients with loss of function of the EPL tendon and postoperative dynamic splinting. In 25 patients, a distal radius fracture managed surgically led to the EPL rupture (wire internal fixation in 23 patients, plate internal fixation in 2 patients). In 6 patients, the cause was a distal radius fracture treated conservatively. Ou...
