Abstract
We present an interesting and rare case of a sequential bilateral traumatic rupture of the extensor pollicis brevis tendons distal to the first extensor compartment in a patient with no underlying systemic condition or pathology around the wrist. Satisfactory thumb function was restored by bilateral transfer of the extensor indicis proprius.
