  • Title: Attritional flexor tendon ruptures after a malunited intra-articular fracture of the distal radius.
    Author: Takami H, Takahashi S, Ando M.
    Journal: Arch Orthop Trauma Surg; 1997; 116(8):507-9. PubMed ID: 9352050.
    Abstract:
    Rupture of the flexor tendon following Colles fracture is uncommon. In all reported cases it occurred as a complication of an extra-articular, displaced fracture of the distal radius. We report a case in which flexor tendon rupture occurred 30 years after a comminuted intra-articular fracture of the distal end of the radius. There have been no reports of delayed flexor tendon rupture after an intra-articular fracture of the distal radius in young adults.
