Wrist Contracture Caused by Adhesion of the Extensor Carpi Radialis Tendon After Distal Radius Fracture: A Case Report

Although distal radius fractures are common, wrist contracture caused by an extra-articular lesion after a distal radius fracture is seldom reported. We report a rare case of wrist contracture caused by adhesion of extensor carpi radialis brevis (ECRB) tendon after distal radius fracture. The patient was successfully treated with tenolysis of the ECRB tendon.
