Abstract
Background: Flexor Pollicis Longus (FPL) tendon attritional rupture is a rare diagnosis. Reported causes include distal radius plates, SNAC wrist, steroid injection and CMC1 arthrodesis hardware. We describe an FPL rupture 1 year after scaphoid waist fracture fixation. Case description: A 23-year-old male ruptured his FPL when it abraded on a headless compression scaphoid screw. After full union of the fracture hardware was removed and the ruptured FPL tendon was reconstructed with a palmaris longus graft.
