<prompt> Rupture of extensor pollicis longus tendon occurs in all of the following except -Rheumatoid ahritisColles fractureDrummersDe Quervains disease  <response>: RUPTURED EXTENSOR POLLICIS LONGUS : The long thumb extensor may rupture after fraying or ischaemia where it crosses the wrist e.g. after a Colles fracture, or in rheumatoid ahritis. The distal phalanx drops into flexion; it can be passively extended, and there may still be weak active extension because of thenar muscle inseion into the extensor expansion; however, the thumb cannot be actively elevated backwards above the plane of the hand retroposition. Direct repair is unsatisfactory and a tendon transfer, using the extensor indicis, is needed. The results are, in over 90 per cent of cases, satisfactory.
