ABSTRACT

Bilateral rupture of the extensor pollicis longus tendon is uncommon and much more if it occurs sporadically and spontaneously. There are few case reports in the medical literature about this pathology, with most of these cases having somo anatomical reason that can explain this event. In this case, a patient with multiple hypoplasic phalanges who suffers a bilateral spontaneous rupture of the extensor pollis longus tendon is presented, as well as the diagnostic approach and therapeutic management as well as the probable etiology.
