Extensor pollicis longus (EPL) rupture occurred 6 weeks after the injury. Extensor indicis proprius transfer was performed using wide-awake local anesthesia no tourniquet (WALANT) technique. Active thumb range of motion was restored, and the patient returned to all activities, including sports, after 2 months.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Although delayed attritional EPL rupture after DRF is a well-known complication in adults, this is the first reported case in a truly skeletally immature patient.
