Ultrasonographic Assessment of the Flexor Pollicis Longus Tendon After Plate Fixation.
Rupture of the flexor pollicis longus tendon is a major complication after volar locking plate fixation of distal radius fracture. This study used ultrasonography to assess the flexor pollicis longus tendon and intermediate tissue. The study assessed 27 patients (28 wrists) who underwent removal of the volar locking plate. Before plate removal, radiography and ultrasonography were performed to ...

متن کاملFlexor Pollicis Longus Tendon Rupture After Volar Plating of a Distal Radius Fracture: Pronator Quadratus Plate Coverage May Not Adequately Protect Tendons
OBJECTIVE The senior author previously reported a case of rupture of the flexor policis longus tendon after volar plating of a distal radius fracture. We hypothesized that restoration of the pronator quadratus to its native position after plating might prevent this problem. METHODS The authors report a new case of irritation of the flexor policis longus 2.5 years after volar plating of a dist...
متن کاملRisk Assessment of Tendon Attrition Following Treatment of Distal Radius Fractures With Volar Locking Plates Using Audible Crepitus and Placement of the Plate: A Prospective Clinical Cohort Study.
PURPOSE To identify risk factors for tendon attrition after volar locking plate fixation of distal radius fractures. METHODS We prospectively assessed attrition of the flexor pollicis longus tendon at volar plate removal in 127 hands in 126 patients. We also evaluated preoperative lateral wrist radiographs, sonographs, and crepitus with flexor pollicis longus tendon motion and compared the de...
