Acute Rupture of Flexor Digitorum Profundus Tendon Associated with Distal Radius Fracture: A Case Report
نویسندگان
چکیده
Even though fractures of the distal radius are the most common fracture of the upper extremity, complications concerning the injury are relatively poorly reported. It is thought that flexor tendon ruptures associated with distal radius fracture are caused by attrition by rough surfaces of malunited fracture and irritation by fixation implants. The majority of reported cases usually presents with the complication four or more weeks after the injury. Extensor tendon damage is thought to be more common than flexor tendon damage in patients with distal radius fractures. Concurrent flexor digitorum profundus tendon rupture with distal radius fracture is very rare. Therefore, we are Acute Rupture of Flexor Digitorum Profundus Tendon Associated with Distal Radius Fracture: A Case Report

Anterior interosseous nerve palsy mimicking rupture of the index flexor digitorum profundus after volar locking plate fixation of a distal radius fracture
We describe the case of a patient with distal radius fracture who became unable to flex the distal interphalangeal joint of the index finger after internal fixation using a volar locking plate. There was palpable crepitus with active thumb motion, and wrist radiographs showed prominence of the volar plate at the watershed line. Therefore, our initial diagnosis was plate-induced closed rupture o...
متن کاملAcute Rupture of Flexor Tendons as a Complication of Distal Radius Fracture
Acute rupture of flexor tendons following distal radius fracture is very rare. We experienced four cases of acute rupture of flexor tendons that were treated surgically. Injured tendons included flexor pollicis longus, flexor carpi radialis, palmaris longus and third flexor digitorum profundus. A severely displaced fracture with a volar spike of the distal radius was detected on plain radiograp...
متن کاملSimultaneous Dorsal Base Fracture and FDP Avulsion of Distal Phalanx of the Little Finger
Avulsion injury of the flexor digitorum profundus (FDP) with concomitant fracture of the distal phalanx dorsal base is uncommon. Simultaneous avulsion fractures of the insertion of this tendon associated with rupture of the tendon from the bony fragment and combination with dorsal base fracture is very rare and also complicated. A 36- year- old man fell and injured his right little finger. FDP ...
متن کاملA rare presentation of flexor digitorum profundus type V avulsion injury with associated intra-articular fracture: A case report.
Traumatic avulsions of the flexor digitorum profundus tendon are associated with young adults engaged in athletic activities such as football and rugby. The current report presents a case involving a 30-year-old man with traumatic avulsion of his flexor digitorum profundus and associated intra-articular distal phalangeal fracture secondary to injury during martial arts - an unusual cause of thi...
متن کاملExtensor indicis proprius and extensor digitorum communis rupture after volar locked plating of the distal radius--a case report.
Distal radius fractures are among the most commonly encountered fractures in the extremities. Volar plating of distal radius fracture has gained popularity in recent years with the introduction of the locked plating system. Complications of volar plating include extensor and flexor tendon rupture. Here we present a case report of an extensor indicis proprius and extensor digitorum communis to i...
