Acute tendon rupture of the extensor pollicis longus (EPL) is rare. We present acute EPL tendon rupture associated with avulsed fracture of the second metacarpal at the insertion of extensor carpi radialis longus. Tendon rupture of the EPL was repaired with end-to-end suture and avulsed fracture of the second metacarpal base was treated with open reduction and internal fixation.

Extensor Pollicis Longus Tendon

Fracture of the base of the third metacarpal with associated avulsion of the extensor carpi radialis brevis tendon is a rare injury. We report such a fracture and the unusual resulting complication of division of the extensor pollicis longus tendon by the avulsed bony fragment. Careful monitoring using lateral radiographs is needed to make the diagnosis and displacement of the avulsed fragment warrants open reduction and internal fixation.

Extensor Pollicis Longus Tendon

Avulsion fractures of the index metacarpal at the insertion of extensor carpi radialis longus are rare. We report such a fracture and the resulting complication of division of the extensor pollicus longus tendon, by the avulsed bony fragment. Careful clinical assessment and appropriate radiological examination is needed to diagnose this rare fracture and internal fixation is recommended.
