  ABSTRACT: Background: Spontaneous tendon rupture of hand is not frequent. These ruptures can occur after a fracture. Aim: We report a case of spontaneous rupture of extensor pollicis longus tendon, and describe the treatment. Case presentation: We report the case of a 63-year-old woman who had extensor pollicis longus tendon rupture after non-displaced extra-articular distal radius fracture, treated by wrist circular cast immobilization. Extensor indicis proprius tendon transfer was performed, with an excellent functional result. Conclusion: Extensor pollicis longus tendon rupture can occur after non-displaced extra-articular distal radius fracture. Its treatment by tendon transfer helps to restore function of hand.
