Abstract
|
|
|
|
Spontaneous rupture of the extensor tendon has been reported in association with predisposing inflammatory conditions including rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes, trauma, tophaceous gout, and steroid injection. The authors experienced a case of spontaneous rupture of the extensor digitorum longus tendons caused by an osteophyte of the tarsometatarsal joint in a patient with rheumatoid arthritis. The authors stress that aggressive treatment including surgery could be considered for prevention of spontaneous tendon rupture in a patient with predisposing conditions despite an asymptomatic spur.
