Rupture of the extensor pollicis longus tendon after Colles fracture.
نویسنده
چکیده
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.

Some complications of Colles' fracture and their treatment.
Though Colles' fracture is a common injury its complications and their treatment are seldom dealt with in surgical papers. In this paper it is proposed to discuss the following complications: I. Redisplacement. 2. Mal-union. 3. Laxity of the inferior radio-ulnar joint. 4. Joint stiffness and adhesions. 5. Traumatic arthritis of the wrist joint. 6. Pain over the ulnar aspect of the wrist. 7. Lat...
متن کاملThe Prodrome of Extensor Pollicis Longus Tendonitis and Rupture: Rupture May Be Preventable.
Current literature suggests that tendonitis of the extensor pollicis longus (EPL) is a rare condition that has a high rate of progression to rupture. This study documents the prodrome of impending EPL rupture in patients with prior nondisplaced distal radial fracture. A retrospective study identified patients with EPL tendonitis or tendon rupture. Seven patients (6 females and 1 male) had susta...
متن کاملPseudo-rupture of Extensor Pollicis Longus following Kischner wire fixation of distal radius fractures.
We report two cases of extensor pollicis longus tendon tethering following K-wire insertion to treat unstable distal radius fractures, an unusual complication. In both cases, extensor pollicis longus function returned with conservative management. The structures considered "at risk" during K-wire insertion are described, and the common complications are discussed. Operative approaches to minimi...

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...

INTRODUCTION Extensor pollicis longus (EPL) tendon rupture is a well-described phenomenon in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Mechanisms of EPL tendon rupture in the nonrheumatoid population have also been described and include traumatic rupture, repetitive motion strain, and steroid injection into the tendon. METHODS The operative records for patients undergoing extensor pollicis longus r...
