Abstract
Extensor Pollicis Longus tendon (EPL) delayed rupture following a minimally displaced distal radius fracture is considered a rare complication. Up to our knowledge cases are even less frequent in the adolescence and there is limited literature on this subject. We present a case of delayed rupture of EPL tendon post minimally displaced distal radius fracture in a 16-year-old male, that was managed surgically. The best preventive measure is high index of clinical suspicion for this type of injury.
