This study assessed the comprehensive incidence of tendon rupture following volar locking plate (VLP) surgery for a large number of patients with distal radius fractures (DRFs) at multiple facilities in one prefecture, Japan. During the 4-year period, 2787 patients with DRFs underwent fixation using VLP. The overall incidence rates of rupture of the FPL, the extensor pollicis longus, the flexor digitorum profundus of the index finger, and the extensor digitorum communis were 0.35% (10 patients), 0.29% (8 patients), 0.04% (1 patient), and 0.04% (1 patient), respectively.
本研究评估了日本一个县多家医疗机构中大量桡骨远端骨折（DRF）患者接受掌侧锁定钢板（VLP）手术后肌腱断裂的综合发生率。在4年期间，2787例DRF患者接受了VLP固定。拇长屈肌、拇长伸肌、示指指深屈肌和指总伸肌的总体断裂发生率分别为0.35%（10例患者）、0.29%（8例患者）、0.04%（1例患者）和0.04%（1例患者）。
