Abstract
Open reduction with internal fixation is a common approach for treating distal radius fractures. However, complications such as extensor tendon rupture can occur following this procedure. In this case report, we present a patient who experienced extensor tendon rupture following volar plate fixation of a distal radius fracture. The rupture was diagnosed preoperatively using ultrasound. We highlight the potential usefulness of ultrasound as a convenient and sensitive tool for diagnosing tendon injuries in patients with suspected complications following internal fixation of distal radius fractures. Furthermore, we discuss how ultrasound images can aid in localizing the site of tendon rupture and guide surgical incisions for smaller postoperative wound care, resulting in improved cosmetic outcomes.
期刊介绍：
As the official publication of the French, Belgian and Swiss Societies for Surgery of the Hand, as well as of the French Society of Rehabilitation of the Hand & Upper Limb, ''Hand Surgery and Rehabilitation'' - formerly named "Chirurgie de la Main" - publishes original articles, literature reviews, technical notes, and clinical cases. It is indexed in the main international databases (including Medline). Initially a platform for French-speaking hand surgeons, the journal will now publish its articles in English to disseminate its author''s scientific findings more widely. The journal also includes a biannual supplement in French, the monograph of the French Society for Surgery of the Hand, where comprehensive reviews in the fields of hand, peripheral nerve and upper limb surgery are presented.
Organe officiel de la Société française de chirurgie de la main, de la Société française de Rééducation de la main (SFRM-GEMMSOR), de la Société suisse de chirurgie de la main et du Belgian Hand Group, indexée dans les grandes bases de données internationales (Medline, Embase, Pascal, Scopus), Hand Surgery and Rehabilitation - anciennement titrée Chirurgie de la main - publie des articles originaux, des revues de la littérature, des notes techniques, des cas clinique. Initialement plateforme d''expression francophone de la spécialité, la revue s''oriente désormais vers l''anglais pour devenir une référence scientifique et de formation de la spécialité en France et en Europe. Avec 6 publications en anglais par an, la revue comprend également un supplément biannuel, la monographie du GEM, où sont présentées en français, des mises au point complètes dans les domaines de la chirurgie de la main, des nerfs périphériques et du membre supérieur.
