Abstract
This study assessed the comprehensive incidence of tendon rupture following volar locking plate (VLP) surgery for a large number of patients with distal radius fractures (DRFs) at multiple facilities in one prefecture, Japan. During the 4-year period, 2787 patients with DRFs underwent fixation using VLP. The overall incidence rates of rupture of the FPL, the extensor pollicis longus, the flexor digitorum profundus of the index finger, and the extensor digitorum communis were 0.35% (10 patients), 0.29% (8 patients), 0.04% (1 patient), and 0.04% (1 patient), respectively.
