Abstract
Even though fractures of the distal radius are the most common fracture of the upper extremity, complications concerning the injury are relatively poorly reported. It is thought that flexor tendon ruptures associated with distal radius fracture are caused by attrition by rough surfaces of malunited fracture and irritation by fixation implants. The majority of reported cases usually presents with the complication four or more weeks after the injury. Extensor tendon damage is thought to be more common than flexor tendon damage in patients with distal radius fractures. Concurrent flexor digitorum profundus tendon rupture with distal radius fracture is very rare. Therefore, we are Acute Rupture of Flexor Digitorum Profundus Tendon Associated with Distal Radius Fracture: A Case Report
