Abstract

Extensor pollicis longus tendon rupture is uncommon in the literature. We report on a group of 4 clinical cases of delayed rupture of extensor pollicis longus tendon that were reconstructed by transferring the extensor indicis proprius tendon, assessed at the time of admission: age, gender, cause of injury, time of surgery, intraoperative injury lesions and post-operative assessment: extensor range of motion: flexion, opposition, extension loss motion according to Geldmacher's scale. RESULTS: Male/female ratio 1:1, age 43-55 years old, caused by wrist injury or accompanied by fracture of the distal radius. Postoperative results: ROM of thumb is almost normal, according to Geldmacher's 100% scale: good and excellent results.
