Delayed rupture of a flexor tendon secondary to fracture of the lunate
Italian Journal of Orthopaedics and Traumatology
|June 1, 1985
Abstract:
Attritional ruptures of flexor tendons following carpal fractures are rare. The authors report a case of delayed rupture of flexor digitorum profundus of the index finger caused by fracture of the lunate. To our knowledge, this is the first report of such a tendon rupture following a fracture of the lunate.
