A 15-year-old pitcher on a boys' Little League baseball team suffered spontaneous rupture of the extensor pollicis brevis (EPB) tendon. Since the EPB tendon was, at surgery, found hypoplastic and non-functional, transfer of the extensor indicis proprius (EIP) tendon was carried out. After a 6-month period of rehabilitation and follow-up, the patient was able to resume playing baseball. Although rupture of the EPB is rare, transfer of the EIP tendon is one of the treatments of choice for such injuries.
一名15岁的少年棒球小联盟球队投手的拇短伸肌腱自发性断裂。由于手术中发现拇短伸肌腱发育不全且无功能,遂进行了示指固有伸肌腱转移术。经过6个月的康复和随访,患者能够重新开始打棒球。虽然拇短伸肌腱断裂很少见,但示指固有伸肌腱转移术是此类损伤的首选治疗方法之一。
