Closed extensor tendon rupture and distal radial fracture with use of a gymnast's wrist support.
Department of Orthopaedics, Middlesbrough General Hospital, Cleveland, UK.
We report a case of delayed closed rupture of the tendon of extensor indicis proprius in a skeletally immature individual. This occurred following a minor greenstick fracture during use of a gymnast's wrist-finger support. To our knowledge this unusual complication has not been described previously.
