    (2014) Taş, Süleyman; Balta, Serkan; Benlier, Erol
    Background:The etiology of spontaneous rupture of the extensor pol-licis longus tendon includes systemic or local steroid injections, wrist fracture, tenosynovitis, synovitis, rheumatoid arthritis, and repetitivewrist motions.Case Report:We encountered a case of extensor pollicis longus ten-don rupture with an unusual etiology, cow milking. In this case, trans-fer of the extensor indicis proprius tendon was performed successfully.At 1 year after surgery, extension of the thumb was sufficient.Conclusion:It appears that patients with occupations involving repeti-tive motions are at a high risk of closed tendon ruptures.
