Flexor Pollicis Longus Tendon

The purpose of this study was to evaluate flexor tendon injuries following palmar plating of distal radial fractures relative to the Soong grade. This retrospective cohort study included 113 patients who underwent palmar plate removal after a distal radial fracture between 2010 and 2016. In 13 patients, a greater than 50% injury of the flexor pollicis longus tendon was observed. Of these, nine patients were classified as Soong grade 2, four as Soong grade 1 and none as grade 0. The difference between the Soong groups was statistically significant ( p = 0.006). Flexor tenosynovitis was present in eight patients (7%) and more likely in patients with a higher Soong grade ( p = 0.026). We conclude that higher Soong grades are associated with significantly more flexor tendon complications. Therefore, elective removal of the palmar plate after union of the fracture should be considered in patients with Soong grades 1 and 2. Level of evidence: IV

Tendon Ruptures

Flexor tendon ruptures are a very rare complication of Colles’ fracture. Only ten cases have been previously reported in the literature. We describe a case of multiple sequential flexor tendon rupture as a delayed consequence of a malunited Colles’ fracture.

Hand Functions

Distal end radius fracture is said to the most common as well as more frequent fracture seen in community-dwelling individuals. Fracture distal end radius can lead to malunion, non-union, deformity ultimately leading to reduce the functional capacity of an individual. Hand functions are primarily affected in distal radial fracture. The patient was an old lady of 75 years who suffered a comminuted fracture distal end radius right side. She underwent surgery 6 days after the injury with open reduction and internal fixation. Three weeks after the surgery physiotherapy was started to increase range of motion, muscle strength and to reduce pain. Rehabilitation started at the rate of one session a day, six days a week. Rehabilitation activities include exercises to improve local circulation and relief pain, to restore normal range of motion, to improve ROM, to improve strength.
