[Spontaneous rupture of the extensor pollicis longus tendon].
A rare case of "spontaneous" rupture of the extensor pollicis longus tendon with primary chronic polyarthritis in the background is reported in this paper. In this case a transposition of the extensor indicis proprius was carried out, with the modification by J. Böhler and Manninger. This method gives a very good functional result.
