Abstract:

Spontaneous delayed rupture of the extensor pollicis longus (EPL) is a rare complication following distal radius fracture. Bilateral EPL rupture following bilateral distal radius fractures is even rarer. A case report of bilateral EPL rupture following bilateral non-displaced distal radius fractures is presented along with a review of the literature regarding pathophysiology, treatment options, and technical surgical variations.
