Abstract
|
|
|
|
Rupture of the extensor tendon caused by a posteriorly displaced lunate fragment is an uncommon complication of Kienbock’s disease. Thirteen cases have been reported in the English literatures, but it has never been reported in the Korean literatures. We report a case of rupture of the third and fourth extensor tendons secondary to advanced Kienbock’s disease that was successfully treated by excision of the lunate and a tendon transfer.
