Abstract
|
|
|
|
Spontaneous rupture of extensor tendon at the wrist usually affects the extensor pollicis longus, and the etiologies include fractures of distal radius, rheumatoid arthritis and certain sports activities. Sports associated rupture of the extensor pollicis longus has been reported in a kick boxer, diver, tennis player, and downhill skier. But spontaneous rupture of extensor tendon besides extensor pollicis longus has been rarely reported in a sports player. We report spontaneous rupture of 3rd, 4th, and 5th extensor tendons because of probably overuse of the wrist in an amateur golfer.
