Palmar Plate Fixation

Palmar plate fixation of distal radial fractures is becoming a standard treatment for this common injury. Ruptures of the extensor pollicis longus tendon have been reported in 8.6% of cases after this procedure. Although palmar plate fixation has also been associated with flexor pollicis longus (FPL) tendon problems, the majority of reported cases pre-date the use of newer anatomically precontoured locking plates. In this paper seven cases of FPL rupture are presented. This complication does not appear to be unique to one type of implant. The possible aetiologies for FPL ruptures are discussed and ways to reduce the incidence of this complication are suggested.

Flexor Pollicis Longus Tendon

A case is described in which an anomalous insertion of the flexor pollicis longus tendon into the region of the carpal tunnel caused limited active flexion of the thumb in a child. This is the first reported case of this anomaly in which an apparent familial relationship has been noted, and the first reported case in the Caucasian race. Two similar cases in Japanese have been described. Abnormal insertion of a portion of the flexor pollicis longus must be included in the differential diagnosis of inadequate thumb flexion.
