  • Title: Bilateral spontaneous extensor tendon ruptures in Madelung's deformity.
    Author: Jebson PJ, Blair WF.
    Journal: J Hand Surg Am; 1992 Mar; 17(2):277-80. PubMed ID: 1564274.
    Abstract:
    Rupture of finger extensor tendons by attrition is an extremely rare complication of Madelung's deformity. We report a case of bilateral rupture in a previously symptom-free woman. The dorsally subluxed distal ulna was resected to prevent further rupture. The mechanism of injury, clinical and radiographic features, and treatment of this uncommon complication are reviewed.
