title: Attritional flexor tendon ruptures due to distal radius fracture and associated with volar displacement of the distal ulna: a case report.
abstract: Flexor tendon rupture following distal radius fractures are rare. In this report, a volarly displaced distal ulna that perforated the volar wrist capsule caused delayed flexor tendon ruptures 25 years after a distal radius fracture. The repair with free tendon graft and the excision of the distal ulna produced a successful result.
