Extensor indicis proprius tendon transfer for extensor pollicis longus rupture
The extensor pollicis longus (EPL) tendon is one of the most frequently ruptured tendons. The EPL is the primary extensor of the interphalangeal (IP) joint of the thumb and is also important in metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joint extension. The loss of this tendon leads to an inability to extend the thumb and raise it to the level of the palm, leaving the patient with a useless thumb (1). Clinicall...
متن کاملRupture of the extensor pollicis longus tendon after Colles fracture.
During the period 1973-1986, 116 patients with rupture of the extensor pollicis longus tendon were operated upon. The lesions were categorised into three anatomical levels: proximal, intermediate and distal. Direct suture was performed for acute lesions; later reconstructive procedures were by means of tendon transfers or free tendon grafts.
متن کاملPalmaris Longus Tendon Grafting for Extensor Pollicis Longus Tendon Rupture bScrew Tip after 20 years
INTRODUCTION Spontaneous ruptures of extension pollicis longus tendon predominantly occur after undisplaced or minimally displaced distal radial fracture near Lister tubercle. Systemic inflammatory diseases and systemic or local steroid, mechanical causes like bony ridges, presence of bone plate or external fixator pin may precipitate this. Repetitive uses in certain occupation like cooking, co...
متن کاملIrreducible distal radial fracture due to extensor pollicis longus tendon interposition: a case report
Various causes have been reported for irreducible fractures of the distal radius. Most of them have been reported in children.We report a case of irreducible distal radial fracture in an 18-year-old Caucasian male patient. The fracture was not reducible by closed methods and extensor pollicis tendon was found to be interposed during surgical intervention. At one year follow-up, the patient had ...
