Abstract
Spontaneous rupture of the extensor digitorum communis is rare and poorly understood. We experienced 9 cases of extensor digitorum communis tendon rupture caused by overuse of hand.Mechanical attrition at the distal edge of the extensor retinaculum was considered the main cause. Most of the cases were treated by tendon transfer and end-to-side suture, and tendon graft was performed on cases with multiple tendon ruptures.
