  • Title: Tendon ruptures in the hand with particular reference to attrition ruptures in the carpal tunnel.
    Author: Hallett JP, Motta GR.
    Journal: Hand; 1982 Oct; 14(3):283-90. PubMed ID: 7152377.
    Abstract:
    The mechanisms of tendon rupture in the hand are reviewed. Attrition ruptures of tendons in the carpal tunnel, other than those due to rheumatoid arthritis, are rare. A case is reported where Kienböck's avascular necrosis of the lunate caused rupture of flexor policis longus. This is the second case reported in the literature and serves as a model of attrition rupture.
