Flexor Carpi Radialis Tendon Rupture in a Distal Radius Malunion

We describe a rare case of complete rupture of the flexor carpi radialis in a distal radius malunion. Though the tendon was not repaired, the functional result was acceptable. The coronavirus disease-19 epidemic highlights delayed treatment for routine orthopedic trauma and its complications. Decisi...

description We describe a rare case of complete rupture of the flexor carpi radialis in a distal radius malunion. Though the tendon was not repaired, the functional result was acceptable. The coronavirus disease-19 epidemic highlights delayed treatment for routine orthopedic trauma and its complications. Decision-making as to repair or reconstruction should rely on patient characteristics, fracture age, and geometry, as well as the need for other repairs and grafting. Keywords: Distal radius fracture; flexor carpi radialis; malunion; tendon rupture
