[Narrowing of the third extensor tendon compartment in minimal displaced distal radius fractures with impending rupture of the EPL tendon].
Handchirurgie, Mikrochirurgie, Plastische Chirurgie 2002 September
Delayed ruptures of the extensor pollicis longus tendon (EPL) occur in about 0.7 percent following undisplaced distal radius fractures. Two possible mechanisms are mainly discussed in the literature: A mechanical irritation of the tendon caused by a sharp edge of the fractured bone and a direct microvascular compromise of the poorly vascularized tendon. In undisplaced fractures, however, a mechanical irritation seems less likely. In the cases here described we were able to demonstrate a fragment displacement in the area of Lister's tubercle suspected by the native X-ray and further evaluated by a CT scan. The use of CT scans even in minor displaced distal radius fractures involving Lister's tubercle may demonstrate a direct contact of the EPL tendon with a sharp edge of this fractured bone and make adequate surgery possible.
