The risk factors for EPL tendon injury are prominent dorsal screws, direct intraoperative damage through drilling, and\/or dorsal roof fragments. Herein, we introduce a simple technique to minimize the risk of EPL tendon rupture after volar plate fixation of distal radial fracture.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Case presentation:<\/jats:title>\n The patient was a 67-year-old woman with an intra-articular unstable distal radial fracture treated by volar locking plate fixation. Intraoperatively, we opened the third compartment after screw fixation. Because the screw had penetrated the floor of the third compartment, we moved the EPL tendon out of its groove and closed the third compartment by suturing the retinaculum. We confirmed that the EPL tendon was intact 7 years postoperatively, even though the screw was prominent in the third compartment.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Clinical discussion:<\/jats:title>\n After volar plate fixation of the distal radial fracture, we partially open the third compartment through an approximately 2-cm-long incision on the ulnar side of Lister's tubercle. If the screw is prominent in the third compartment, we completely open the third compartment, take the EPL tendon out of its groove, and close the compartment by suturing the retinaculum. Our method was proved useful because the EPL tendon has remained intact for 7 years with the screw protruding into the third compartment.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n Our surgical technique is useful to prevent secondary EPL tendon rupture after distal radial plate fixation.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Highlights<\/jats:title>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijscr.2022.106869","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,2,25]],"date-time":"2022-02-25T11:42:30Z","timestamp":1645789350000},"page":"106869","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Simple surgical technique for minimizing the risk of extensor pollicis longus rupture following volar plate fixation of distal radial fracture"],"prefix":"10.1097","volume":"92","author":[{"given":"Akira","family":"Hara","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yasuhiro","family":"Yamamoto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Satoshi","family":"Ichihara","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Masao","family":"Suzuki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yuichiro","family":"Maruyama","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"R1-53-20260310","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"717e","DOI":"10.1097\/PRS.0000000000003076","article-title":"Tendon rupture and tenosynovitis following internal fixation of distal radius fractures: a systematic review","volume":"139","author":"Azzi","year":"2017","journal-title":"Plast.
