Abstract
Spontaneous rupture of the extensor carpi and extensor pollicis longus tendons is very uncommon and is caused by inflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis of the radio‐ulnar joint, chronic tenosynovitis caused by repetitive activity and long‐term administration of fluoroquinolone antibiotics and corticosteroids. Spontaneous rupture of multiple extensor tendons has rarely been reported. We report a case of spontaneous rupture of multiple extensor tendons following repeated steroid injection in an older woman with De Quervain's disease.
