European Journal of Trauma and Emergency Surgery, 09/25/09
Sethunathan RA et al. – The authors report an unusual case of complete rupture of the flexor pollicis longus tendon following volar locking plating for a distal radius fracture. The authors believe that the prominence of a distal locking screw head predisposed to the rupture of the tendon. The authors highlight that correctly attaching the distal locking screws to the plate is essential for obtaining the correct biomechanics of the device and preventing flexor tendon rupture.
