RESUMO
We present a case of spontaneous four-extremity extensor tendon rupture in a patient with chronic renal failure. The occurrence of spontaneous ruptures in all four extremities is previously undescribed. We discuss the pathogenesis, physical and radiographic characteristics, and management.

Quantitative fluorescence assessment with the fiberoptic dermofluorometer has been introduced to overcome the inadequacies of ultraviolet inspection following intravenous administration of fluorescein. Initial applications in the pedicle flap of the rat have indicated that this method can predict flap viability with reproducible precision and accuracy. This minimally invasive technique should be of considerable assistance to the evaluation of hypoperfused states in laboratory and clinical situations.
