UNASSIGNED: We present a case of concomitant rupture of the EPL and occult rupture of the EDC to the index finger following volar plating of the distal radius. This was discovered intraoperatively and complicated the proposed tendon transfer reconstruction.
UNASSIGNED: Locked volar plate fixation has become the preferred technique for surgical management of distal radius fractures. The complication of multiple extensor tendon ruptures is rare but nevertheless may be encountered. We discuss strategies for diagnosis, treatment, and prevention. Surgeons should be aware of and prepared to proceed with alternative reconstructive procedures if this complication is discovered.
■我们介绍了在桡骨远端掌侧铺板后,EPL同时破裂和EDC隐匿性破裂的情况。术中发现了这一点,并使拟议的肌腱转移重建复杂化。
■掌侧锁定钢板内固定术已成为桡骨远端骨折手术治疗的首选技术。多发性伸肌腱断裂的并发症很少见,但可能会遇到。我们讨论诊断策略,治疗,和预防。如果发现这种并发症,外科医生应该意识到并准备进行替代的重建程序。
