title: Nonrheumatoid closed rupture of extensor carpi ulnaris tendon.
abstract: Closed rupture of the extensor carpi ulnaris tendon in a patient who does not have rheumatoid arthritis has not been previously reported to our knowledge. This condition should be considered in the differential diagnosis of ulnar-sided wrist pain. We report two patients with favorable response to surgical reconstruction after failure of nonoperative management.
