Abstract
Although extensor pollicis longus tendon ruptures have been noted as a complication of distal radius fractures, flexor tendon ruptures in association with acute fractures of the distal radius are rare. We report a rupture of the flexor carpi radialis tendon as a complication of an acute distal radius fracture that was discovered during operative management of the fracture.
