Spontaneous Rupture of Epl and Ecrb Tendons in a Washerwoman: An Unusual Phenomenon

Abstract: Spontaneous rupture of the extensor pollicis longus (EPL) tendon is rare, and spontaneous non-traumatic rupture of both extensor pollicis longus (EPL) and extensor carpi radialis brevis (ECRB) tendons is not reported in literature. Rupture of EPL is usually associated with rheumatoid arthritis, systemic or local steroid injections, fractures of the wrist and repetitive and excessive abnormal motion of the wrist joint. We describe a case of spontaneous rupture of the EPL and ECRB tendons in a female patient, wa… Show more

“…24 Traditionally, repetitive movements of the thumb frequently occurred in crafts men and women, leading to many physical problems such as arthritis, tendon rupture and tenosynovitis. [25][26][27] Muscle fatigue can be caused by work that requires repeated movements in static postures. 28 However, this kind of repetitive work can be distinguished from the repetitive thumb movements of smartphone users because moving the thumb requires less power.…”

“…[1][2][3][4] Factores asociados menos frecuentes se han descrito en la literatura y que en general hacen referencia a una actividad repetitiva de la extremidad lo que podría producir inflamación persistente y eventual rotura del tendón. 5,6,14 Se ha descrito que la zona del tendón que está en contacto con el tubérculo de Lister es una región poco vascularizada lo que puede predisponer a una rotura en esa zona frente a compresiones o inflamación mantenida. 15 El caso que se presenta es de una rotura espontánea del ELP sin un antecedente traumático, en un paciente sin antecedentes médicos ni de uso de corticoides.…”

“…[1][2][3][4] Las actividades repetitivas con la extremidad, como son algunos tipos de danza y oficios, también han sido consideradas factores de riesgo para el desarrollo de esta patología. [5][6][7] Otro factor asociado es la tendinosis en la zona del tubérculo de Lister debido a un efecto compresivo, donde incluso se ha planteado la descompresión profiláctica. 8 Palabras Clave ► cirugía de la mano ► ELP ► extensor largo del pulgar ► transferencias tendíneas ► WALANT…”

“…Häufig kommt es zum Abriss der Strecksehne bei Arbeitsunfällen, höchste Inzidenzrate findet man unter den 20-29-jährigen Männern [4]. Neben den traumatischen Ursachen darf man aber auch die degenerativen Rupturen bei rheumatoiden Vorerkrankungen [5] sowie Spontanrupturen nicht vergessen [6].…”
