Abstract
Conservative treatment shows favorable results for minimally displaced fractures of the distal radius. A commonly reported complication associated with distal radius fractures is delayed tendon rupture. The extensor pollicis longus tendon is the tendon that has most commonly been reported to be injured in distal radius fractures. This report provides a new case of delayed rupture of the extensor carpi radialis longus and extensor carpi radialis brevis tendons after conservative treatment of a distal radius fracture, along with a review of the literature.
