Rupture of the Extensor Pollicis Longus Tendon after Colles Fracture and by Rheumatoid ArthritisFrom the Hand Unit, Goldenbuhl Hospital, Villingen, Black Forest, West Germany Correspondence: Dr L. G. Mannerfelt, Goldenbuhl Hospital, Villingen, Black Forest, West Germany During the period 1973–1986, 116 patients with rupture of the extensor pollicis longus tendon were operated upon. The lesions were categorised into three anatomical levels: proximal, intermediate and distal. Direct suture was performed for acute lesions; later reconstructive procedures were by means of tendon transfers or free tendon grafts.
