Abstract
AIMS: We report a case of delayed all digital flexor tendon ruptures after nonoperative management of distal radius fracture. METHODS: An 84-year-old woman, noted loss of flexion of your fingers. She had a history of Colles' fracture 40 years before, which had been left untreated. Darrach procedure were carried and a tendon transfers for the flexor tendon ruptures. RESULTS: Despite attempts of early active mobilisation, a poor operative outcome was observed. CONCLUSION: Tendon rupture can occur several months or years after the injury, and prompt recognition and treatment can minimize disability.
