Inflammatory and degenerative changes in the extensor pollicis longus muscle and tendon following ruptures caused by distal radius fractures

Abstract Background Rupture of extensor pollicis longus tendon (EPL) is a known complication following a distal radius fracture (DRF). Although the precise mechanisms behind these ruptures remain unclear, vascular impairment is thought to play a significant role. Additionally, the impact of an EPL r...
