Rupture of the flexor tendons of the index finger after Colles' fracture. Case report.

Delayed rupture of a tendon at the wrist secondary to a Colles’ fracture is very rare. Nevertheless, it has been well documented in the literature, especially with reference to the tendon of the extensor pollicis bongus. Boyes and associates showed that rupture of the flexor tendons of the fingers occurs less often than rupture of the extensors, and in their series of eighty cases only two followed fracture of the radius. Two other such cases were reported, and in all of the four reported cases there was a considerable delay between the injury to the bone and the rupture of the tendon. The case reported here is one of rupture of the long flexors of the index finger which occurred soon after a fracture of the radius.
