Rheumatoid extensor tendon ruptures

B M Leslie. Hand Clin. 1989 May.

Abstract

Rheumatoid tendon ruptures occur primarily by the effect of the tenosynovium on the tendon or secondarily by the effect of the tenosynovium on the bone. An understanding of these complications combined with a knowledge of the anatomy helps to explain the pathology and suggest possible treatments.
