ABSTRACT
Ruptures of extensor pollicis longus tendon after distal radial fractures are well-known. However, delayed flexor tendon rupture of finger as a complication of the fracture are less common. We report the case of delayed rupture of flexor digitorum profundus tendon to middle and ring fingers and flexor digitorum superficialis to ring finger in 72 year old female patient. She was treated by free tendon graft with palmaris longus tendon. After 1 year follow-up, range of motion and flexion power were recovered to nearly normal.
