Abstract
The known complications of distal radial fractures (DRFs) include tendon rupture, tendon lag, trigger finger, and tenosynovitis. Open reduction and locking plate fixation via the volar approach for treatment of an unstable DRF is becoming an increasingly popular method and has been reported to cause tenosynovitis of the extensor tendons, which leads to delayed extensor tendon rupture. The extensor pollicis longus (EPL) tendon is most commonly ruptured.
