    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Plastic Surgery

    Background:

    • Mohs surgery is a precise technique for skin cancer removal.
    • Extensor tendon injuries are rare but serious complications following hand surgery.

    Observation:

    • A 63-year-old male developed a ruptured extensor tendon of the hand three days post-Mohs surgery for recurrent squamous-cell carcinoma.
    • The patient had a history of underlying medical problems.

    Findings:

    • The complication was likely multifactorial, involving partial tendon laceration during surgery.
    • Post-operative infection may have contributed to tendon weakening and rupture.
    • Pre-existing medical conditions could have compromised tendon healing and integrity.

    Implications:

    • Highlights the importance of careful surgical technique during Mohs procedures on the hand.
    • Suggests increased vigilance for infection and patient comorbidities in post-operative care.
    • Emphasizes the need for prompt diagnosis and management of tendon ruptures following dermatologic surgery.
