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.

Palmaris Longus Tendon

A technique is described of increasing the length of a palmaris longus tendon graft by including palmar aponeurosis. The additional 5 cm is often useful in treating high flexor tendon ruptures, especially at the wrist level, without the need for an additional incision.
