A 66-year-old man was admitted to the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Aarhus County Hospital a few hours after spontaneous rupture of the left flexor pollicis longus tendon. At operation the tendon was found to be ruptured at the radiocarpal level, where an opening to the radiocarpal joint was found. Radiographs showed a long-standing ununited fracture of the scaphoid.
