Abstract:
Damage to the tendons of the hand is a common injury among young working-age population. In most cases tendons are damaged by open wounds and accompanied by soft tissue contamination, which eliminates the imposition of primary sutures on the tendon. If the purulent-inflammatory processes of soft tissues have been developing in the area of damage, the plastic tendon is postponed indefinitely. The term depends on both subjective and objective reasons. Recovery of tendons late after injury is difficult and the longer it takes from injury, the more difficult it is to recover. The purpose of this research is to demonstrate the successful experience of treating a patient with a long-term tendon damage of the flexor fingers of the hand. Materials and methods. The clinical case of two-stage plastic of the fourth finger deep flexor tendor of the left hand is presented. As an autograft, the tendon of the 3rd finger superficial flexor, isolated from the adhesive process at the level of zones 3 and 4, was used. The effectiveness of the treatment was assessed by clinical and functional signs: the absence of rough scars on the fingers, the absence of contractures, full flexion and extension in all phalanges of the fingers in full. Results: Two-stage tendoplasty of a long-term damage to the deep tendon of the 4th finger with a superficial tendon of the 3rd finger. Complete anatomical and functional recovery of the left hand 4th finger.

Abstract:
The Achilles tendon of the patient with Charcot’s foot neuroarthropathy has significantly altered physical properties compared with a normal tendon. Twenty-nine Achilles tendons from patients with Charcot’s foot (n = 20) and non-Charcot’s foot controls (n = 9) were loaded onto a biomechanical testing instrument. The biomechanical properties of the Charcot and control tendons were determined and the tendons were evaluated for differences in ultimate tensile strength and elasticity (Young’s modulus). Biomechanical test data show that there is a significant difference in ultimate tensile strength and elasticity between tendons of patients with Charcot’s foot and those of non-Charcot’s controls. The term diabetic tendo Achillis equinus is introduced as a new finding in diabetic neuroarthropathy. (J Am Podiatr Med Assoc 95(3): 242–246, 2005)

Abstract:
Decellularized extracellular matrices have been clinically used for tendon regeneration. However, only a few systematic studies have compared tendon stem/progenitor cells to mesenchymal stromal cells on the tendon-derived decellularized matrix. In the present study, we prepared extracellular matrix derived from porcine tendons and seeded with tendon stem/progenitor cells, embryonic stem cell-derived mesenchymal stromal cells or without stem cells. Then we implanted the mixture (composed of stem cells and scaffold) into the defect of a rat Achilles tendon. Next, 4 weeks post-surgery the regenerated tendon tissue was collected. Histological staining, immunohistochemistry, determination of collagen content, transmission electron microscopy, and biomechanical testing were performed to evaluate the tendon structure and biomechanical properties. Our study collectively demonstrated that decellularized extracellular matrix derived from porcine tendons significantly promoted the regeneration of injured tendons when combined with tendon stem/progenitor cells or embryonic stem cell-mesenchymal stromal cells. Compared to embryonic stem cell-mesenchymal stromal cells, tendon stem/progenitor cells combined with decellularized matrix showed more improvement in the structural and biomechanical properties of regenerated tendons in vivo. These findings suggest a promising strategy for functional tendon tissue regeneration and further studies are warranted to develop a functional tendon tissue regeneration utilizing tendon stem/progenitor cells integrated with a tendon-derived decellularized matrix.

Abstract:
This study compared the biomechanical behaviour of repairs in the human flexor digitorum profundus tendon in zones I, II and III with repairs of different segments of the porcine flexor tendon of the second digit and the extensor digiti quarti proprius tendon, in order to assess the validity of porcine tendons as models for human flexor tendon repairs. These porcine tendons were selected after comparing their size with the human flexor digitorum profundus tendon. The tendon repairs were done in three segments of each porcine tendon and repairs in the human tendons were done in zones I,II and III. Ten tendons in each group yielded a total of 90 specimens. A modified Kessler repair was done with 3-0 coated braided polyester suture and subjected to uniaxial tensile testing. In human flexor tendons, the ultimate force was higher in zones I and II than in zone III. The porcine flexor digitorum profundus tendon from the second digit and the proximal segment of the extensor digiti quarti proprius tendon behaved similarly to the human flexor tendon in zone III and can be considered as surrogates for the human flexor tendon.

Abstract:
During aging, tendons demonstrate substantial disruptions in homeostasis, leading to impairments in structure-function. Impaired tendon function contributes to substantial declines quality of life during aging. Aged tendons are more likely to undergo spontaneous rupture, and the healing response following injury is impaired in aged tendons. Thus, there is a need to develop strategies to maintain tendon homeostasis and healing capacity through the lifespan. Tendon cell density sharply declines by ∼12 months of age in mice, and this low cell density is retained in geriatric tendons. Our data suggests that this decline in cellularity initiates a degenerative cascade due to insufficient production of the extracellular matrix (ECM) components needed to maintain tendon homeostasis. Thus, preventing this decline in tendon cellularity has great potential for maintaining tendon health. Single cell RNA sequencing analysis identifies two changes in the aged tendon cell environment. First, aged tendons primarily lose tenocytes that are associated with ECM biosynthesis functions. Second, the tenocytes that remain in aged tendons have disruptions in proteostasis and an increased pro-inflammatory phenotype, with these changes collectively termed ‘programmatic skewing'. To determine which of these changes drives homeostatic disruption, we developed a model of tenocyte depletion in young animals. This model decreases tendon cellularity to that of an aged tendon, including decreased biosynthetic tenocyte function, while age-related programmatic skewing is absent. Loss of biosynthetic tenocyte function in young tendons was sufficient to induce homeostatic disruption comparable to natural aging, including deficits in ECM organization, composition, and material quality, suggesting loss biosynthetic tenocytes as an initiator of tendon degeneration. In contrast, our data suggest that programmatic skewing underpins impaired healing in aged tendons. Indeed, despite similar declines in the tenocyte environment, middle-aged and young-depleted tendons mount a physiological healing response characterized by robust ECM synthesis and remodeling, while aged tendons heal with insufficient ECM.

Abstract:
Background: The purpose of this paper is to describe an anatomical variation of the hand extensor on the little finger of the right hand which receives four tendons, condition unknown, as it is the first case reported so far in the literature. The human extensor tendons of hand often display an array of variations. Awareness of the anatomy and variations of the extensor tendons on the dorsum of the hand is necessary not only for the anatomist but also for surgeons when considering tendons for hand surgery, tendon rerouting or transplants. Materials and Methods: Bilateral anatomical variation in the upper limb was found during routine dissection in a 75-year-old male cadaver in the Morphology Laboratory at the University of Pamplona. The variations were recorded and photographed. Result: In the left hand the extensor digitorum there was a single tendon to the index, double tendon to the middle, triple tendon to the ring finger, a single tendon to the little finger or digiti minimi. The extensor digiti minimi has double tendon. In the right hand the extensor digitorum there was a single tendon to the index, triple tendon to the middle finger, triple tendons to the ring finger, a double tendon to the little finger. The extensor digiti minimi has double tendon. The little finger receives four tendons, 2 of extensor digitorum and 2 of extensor digiti minimi. The dorsum of the left hand and right showed juncturae tendinum type 2, between the extensors tendons in the 3rd intermetacarpal space; type 3, between the extensors tendons in the 4th inter metacarpal space. Conclusion: The presence of multiple tendons may alter the kinematics around the site of attachment to the phalanx. Knowledge of anatomical variations and normal anatomy of the extensor tendons, may be helpful while performing graft and tendon transfer operations.Bangladesh Journal of Medical Science Vol.15(2) 2016 p.278-282

Abstract:
Autologous tendon cell injection (ATI) is a promising non-surgical treatment for tendinopathies and tendon tear that address its underlying pathology. The procedure involves harvesting autologous tendon tissue, the isolation of the tendon cells, expansion under quality assured GMP cell laboratory and the injection of the tendon cells via U/S into the degenerative tendon tissue. In clinical practice, the patella (PT) and palmaris longus (PL) tendons are common sites used for tendon tissue biopsy. The objective of this study is to compare the tendon cell quality, identity, purity, doubling time and yield of cells between PT and PL tendons for ATI.Tendon tissue biopsies were harvested from PT via U/S using a 14-gauge needle or resected surgically from the PL tendon. The biopsies were transported to a GMP cell laboratory, where tendon cells were isolated, cultured and expanded for 4 to 6 weeks, and analysed for viability, cell doubling time, cellular characteristics including cell purity, potency and identity (PPI).Tendon samples from 149 patients were analysed (63 PT). Average biopsy weight was 62mg for PT and 119mg for PI (p<0.001). Average cell doubling time (83.9 vs 82.7 hours), cellular yield (16.2 vs 15.2×106), viability (98.7 vs 99.0%) and passage number (3 vs 3) were not significantly different between tendons. Additionally, ddPCR analyses showed no differences of PPI including tendon cell markers of collagen type I, scleraxis and tenomodulin. No post-biopsy complications or contamination were reported for either group. Assessing tendon tissue from palmaris tendon is relatively easier.Tendon tissue biopsy tissue for autologous tendon cell therapy can be obtained from either the PT or PL tendons. Tendon cells isolated from PT and PL were equal in growth characteristics and PPI. There are no differences in the quality of tendon cells isolated from the PT or PL.

Abstract:
We evaluated the clinical outcome of tendon reconstruction using tendon graft or tendon transfer and the parameters related to clinical outcome in 51 wrists of 46 patients with rheumatoid arthritis with finger extensor tendon ruptures. At a mean follow-up of 5.6 years, the mean metacarpophalangeal (MP) joint extension lag was 8° (range, 0–45) and the mean visual analogue satisfaction scale was 74 (range, 10–100). Clinical outcome did not differ significantly between tendon grafting and tendon transfer. The MP joint extension lag correlated with the patient’s satisfaction score, but the pulp-to-palm distance did not correlate with patient satisfaction. We conclude that both tendon grafting and tendon transfer are reliable reconstruction methods for ruptured finger extensor tendons in rheumatoid hands.

Abstract:
Tendon disorders are hugely burdensome to individuals, costly on a societal level, and are being compounded by the increasingly ageing population. These chronic and often disabling conditions are poorly understood and lacking in an effective long-term treatment. Recently, attempts to elucidate the underlying mechanisms of tendon diseases in order to improve their prognosis have arrived at a key hypothesis: it is posited that the various tendons found throughout the body have unique properties, unique responses to disease-causing stimuli, and in turn therefore, different responses to the therapies being applied. It is possible this is why individual therapies are simultaneously effective in specific patient groups, and disappointingly ineffective in others. The theme of distinct tendon phenotypes is central to this thesis. This body of work explores the hypothesis that functionally distinct tendons respond differently to changes in their loading environment, first by assessing properties developed in vivo in response to a surgically-induced injury of an equine tendon, and then the properties of ovine tendons developed in response to their distinct in vivo functions. It continues by then developing and applying in vitro loading environments, where more precisely controlled loading is used to understand how tendons with highly energy-storing functions may differ from simply positional tendons, at rest and under various loading conditions. The scope of the results span multiple levels, from cells and tissues, to the functional mechanical properties of multiple tendons and disease phenotypes, in order to better understand how these influence each other. This broad approach helps to try and unify work which has previously been isolated by discipline, and more accurately contextualise previous and future work to better understand tendon phenotypes. The key findings of this thesis are: A focal tendon injury in the horse's energy-storing superficial digital exor tendon disrupted healthy relationships (e.g. biomechanics-glycosaminoglycans), and caused widespread increases in chondroitin/dermatan sulfate glycosaminoglycan levels, which were partially responsible for the concomitant reductions in modulus and ultimate tensile strength. A subsequent study of three functionally distinct ovine tendon types showed higher biomechanical properties of the medial branch of the common digital extensor tendon, a positional tendon, when compared to its energy-storing counterparts, and distinct responses to stress-deprivation, with regards to loss of glycosaminoglycans and biomechanical properties. The underpinning gene expression and immunohistochemistry results suggest that despite broad similarities between the tendon types, differences also exist at baseline and in response to stress-deprivation. When cyclic loading ± compression loading were applied identically to those functionally distinct ovine tendons for 10 days, there was a convergence between the tendons in terms of gene expression and histological appearances, but not biochemical properties. Together, these results show there are differences between tendon types in baseline phenotype and mechanical properties and their response to perturbations in normal loading environments. By improving our understanding of the heterogeneity of tendons found throughout the body and their unique responses, this thesis takes a step along the pathway towards more targeted treatment and improved outcomes for tendon disorders.

Abstract:
Tendons heal through three different overlapping phases; the inflammatory, proliferative and remodeling phase. Many studies have investigated what factors influence healing of tendons. However, little was known about inflammation and the immune cells present during Achilles tendon healing by the time this thesis started. We developed a flow cytometry method for our rat model of tendon healing, which enabled us to study different leukocyte subpopulations during Achilles tendon healing. The general aim of this thesis was to understand more about inflammation and the immune cell populations present during tendon healing and how the immune cell composition changes during normal tendon healing. Moreover, we investigated how different factors that are known to influence tendon healing affected the composition of the immune cell population. First, we described the immune cells during the time course of tendon healing focusing on different subpopulations of macrophages and T cells. Then, we studied how these cells were influenced by reduced mechanical loading. Mechanical loading prolonged the presence of M1 macrophages and delayed the switch to regulatory T cells and M2 macrophages compared to reduced mechanical loading. Next, the effect of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) on the leukocyte composition revealed that, even though NSAIDs influence the mechanical properties of healing tendon, this effect was not mediated via changes in the leukocyte sub-populations during early and mid-time tendon healing. Further, the effect of corticosteroids during the inflammatory and remodeling phases of tendon healing was an improved healing of tendons and a reduction of CD8a T cells when corticosteroid was administered after the inflammatory phase. Lastly, we investigated if impairment of tendon healing by NSAIDs was related to mechanotransduction or microdamage during mechanical loading and showed that NSAIDs impair tendon healing by reducing the response to microdamage. In conclusion, these studies show that inflammation plays an important role during Achilles tendon healing, and factors that influence healing can also alter the presence or polarization of immune cell populations.

Abstract:
Tendon disorders are painful, disabling, and a major healthcare problem, with millions of people affected by tendon injuries each year. Current treatment strategies are inadequate and knowledge of the underlying mechanobiological mechanisms is required to develop novel therapies. Although the tissue–level properties of tendon are well–documented there remains a lack of understanding of the deformation mechanisms of this complex tissue. Therefore, the aim of this thesis is to characterize the microstructural deformation of tendon through biological imaging, mechanical testing, and computational modeling. Emphasis is placed on the structure and function of elastic fibers in tendon, whose role is poorly understood. First, histology, immunohistochemistry, and multiphoton microscopy are used to characterize the organization of elastic fibers in healthy and damaged tendon providing detailed microstructural information on their morphology and location for the first time. Elastic fibers are found to have a sparse distribution in the extracellular matrix, but are highly concentrated in the endotenon sheath and pericellular matrix. Moreover, damaged specimens are found to have a severely disrupted elastic fiber network. Elastic fibers likely contribute to fascicular deformation mechanisms and the micromechanical environment of tenocytes, which are expected to be disrupted in damaged tendon. Second, mechanical testing and enzyme treatments are used to analyze the mechanical contribution of elastic fibers to tendon. Elastase is found to significantly affect the mechanical properties of the tissue and remove the elastin component of both tendon and a control collagen–elastin biomaterial. However, elastase is also found to degrade non–elastin structural molecules that may contribute to tendon mechanics. The mechanical changes associated with the elastase treatment suggest that elastic fibers do not contribute to the elastic recoil of tendon as previously hypothesized. Third, multiphoton microscopy in combination with a novel microtensile testing machine is used to observe the deformation of collagen fibrils and tenocytes in tissue exposed to load. Tissue displacement is consistent with a helical arrangement of fibrils and nuclei experience significant elongation under physiological conditions. These results suggest that a helical arrangement of fibrils is responsible for the nonlinear stress–strain response of tendon and that nuclei are prime candidates for sensing mechanical forces in tendon. Finally, computation modeling and structural imaging are used to generate a microstructural finite element model of tendon. A helical model with embedded pericellular matrix is able to reproduce the stress–strain response and cell–level deformation of the tissue. The pericellular matrix is found to amplify mechanical forces exposed to cells, which is required to initiate mechanobiological stimulation of tenocytes under physiological conditions. Therefore, the structure and composition of the PCM during health and disease is expected to significantly affect mechanobiological mechanisms of tendon. The work presented in this thesis has used new experimental methods to provide novel insight into the structure, function, and deformation mechanisms of tendon. The techniques and concepts developed are widely applicable to the study of collagenous tissues in health and disease. In particular, observations regarding the pericellular matrix may lead to the development of new tissue–engineered and pharmacological strategies for the treatment of tendon disorders.

Abstract:
The primary goal of ACL reconstruction is to limit post-operative anterior knee laxity without over-constraining the knee. For both hamstring tendon and patella tendon grafts used for ACL reconstruction, initial graft tension is applied to limit post-operative knee laxity. Both types of graft stress relax following implantation, decreasing the graft tension. Previous studies have shown that preconditioning reduces the tension decrease due to stress relaxation for both hamstring tendons [1] and patella tendons [2]. While hamstring tendon grafts are typically preconditioned in tension on a graft board prior to implantation to limit stress relaxation, patella tendon grafts are typically implanted without preconditioning. The current study focused on characterizing the influence of preconditioning on stress relaxation for both types of graft. The authors hypothesized that the tension loss due to stress relaxation would be larger for preconditioned hamstring tendon grafts than for preconditioned patella tendon grafts.

Abstract:
The tendons of a tension leg platform are critical structural components in maintaining the system integrity. A common tendon design limit is associated with the minimum tendon tension. Most TLP reliability studies in the past defined the minimum-tension limit state as the loss of tendon tension. However, studies have shown that temporary tension loss at a corner of a TLP will not necessarily jeopardize the system integrity if the tendon is allowed to stroke down during a loss of tension event. Hence, we define the limit state associated with minimum tension event as the down-stroke where the tendon unlatches itself. An approximate method is proposed in this study to evaluate the probability of tendon unlatching. Sensitivities to the key assumptions are also investigated.

Abstract:
Severe hurricanes in recent years have raised concerns about the safety and the robustness of the Tension Leg Platform (TLP) concept in the deep water Gulf of Mexico. This study investigates the static stability of different types of TLPs representing those deployed in the Gulf of Mexico, under three different scenarios. That is, a TLP with an intact tendon system, a partially damaged tendon system, and a completely damaged tendon system. The two types of TLP chosen for this study are the conventional four-leg TLP (C-TLP) and the Mono-column TLP. To avoid buckling and yielding occurring in a tendon, the maximum righting moment provided by an intact or partially damaged tendon system is reached when the tension in one or more tendons on the down tension leg becomes zero or when the tension in one or more tendons on the up tension leg reach the yielding strength. This definition leads us to identify the most sensitive directions of met-ocean conditions to a TLP with an intact or partially damaged tendon system. Hence, our finding may also be used in the study on the dynamic simulations of a TLP. The righting moments of each TLP in the three different scenarios are respectively computed and compared with related wind-induce static upsetting moment at certain velocities. By comparing their ratios, the static stability of a TLP and the redundancy of its tendon system may be revealed, which has important implication to its design.

Abstract:
SET (Samsung Enhanced hull for Tendon) TLP (Tension Leg Platform) has been designed as an innovative TLP hull form with optimized number of tendons compared to conventional TLP design. SHI (Samsung Heavy Industries) designed the SET TLP to have the minimized hull weight with narrow and thin pontoon which results in the less number of tendons without any outboard extension of column or pontoon. The SET TLP has 8 tendons which are evenly attached along with the octagonal shaped-ring pontoon. The unique shape of octagonal ring pontoon distributes the wave load and concentrated tendon loads in larger areas, which can minimize the structural reinforcement. To verify the feasibility of the proposed hull concept with regard to the hydrostatic/hydrodynamic characteristics and tendon design, the numerical analyses for the hydrostatic stability and global performance are carried out. Hydrostatic stability is investigated for all the possible loading cases such as float-off, wet transit, tendon installation and operational conditions, and the proper tank compartments are achieved for all the scenarios without using any temporary stability module. The global performance is validated for all the possible combinations of wave, swell, wind, current and/or squall for a site in Western Africa. Through the frequency-domain analysis and nonlinear time-domain analysis as well, the essential items such as the maximum offset/set-down/top tendon tension, minimum bottom tendon tension are examined and confirms that the certain design criteria of TLP operation are satisfied.

Abstract:
Abstract Modeling tendon tensions for applications of tendon-actuated continuum robots under significant loading is necessary for sizing motors, tendons, and other components to ensure that the robot can safely support its mass during operation. While models exist that express tendon tensions as a function of continuum robot configuration, previously proposed models do not consider the effects of gravity on tendon tensions. In this paper, we discuss the addition of gravity to a static model previously developed for low-mass tendon-actuated continuum robots. Using the Euler-Lagrange methodology, the potential energy due to gravity is incorporated into the formulation of the equations that describe tendon tensions as a function of robot configuration. Preliminary experimental results reveal the potential of this nonzero-gravity tendon-tension model.

Abstract:
Accurate assessment of cumulative tendon fatigue is of importance for evaluation of the overall design life of TLPs. This cumulative fatigue damage can be derived from direct tendon load measurements. However, in some cases the quality of the tendon load measurements decreases or direct measurements are not available and assessment of cumulative tendon fatigue is not possible. An alternative approach to derive cumulative tendon fatigue is presented in this paper, based on the measured accelerations of the topsides. The quality of this approach is verified using data measured on board the Marco Polo TLP. To investigate the dynamic behavior of a Tension Leg Platform (TLP) in real life conditions and therewith provide insight in the physical mechanisms, as well as data to verify and validate the current design methods, a full-scale monitoring campaign on the Marco Polo Tension Leg Platform (TLP) has been conducted as part of a Joint Industry Project (JIP). Within this JIP measurements of the loads in four tendons have been collected continuously since June 2004. In addition to the tendon loads the wave frequency TLP motions and wave elevations were also recorded. The alternative approach to derive the cumulative tendon fatigue is verified using Marco Polo measurements recorded during 2005 and 2006. From the Marco Polo TLP motions recorded during the two year period the axial loads were calculated in all tendons. Statistical and spectral comparisons were made between the calculated and measured tendon loads. Based on those results a frequency dependent correction function was computed and applied on the computed tendon loads. Next the fatigue consumption based on the corrected calculated tendon loads was computed and verified with the fatigue consumption based on the actual measured tendon loads. This comparison provides the accuracy of the fatigue calculation when the computations are based on the measured TLP motions.

Full text
Abstract:
Abstract Tendon Tension Monitoring Systems (TTMS) are commonly installed on Tension Leg platforms (TLPs) to measure the axial tensions in the tendons. These measurements are essential to the weight management of the platform, and in monitoring their fatigue life. The TTMS typically consists of 3 load cells per tendon, with 2 bridge measurements for each load cell. This makes up to 6 tension measurements per tendon allowing for a good number of redundant measurements for tendon tension determination. This system design with redundant measurements allows for long term integrity monitoring of the TLP, and some of these systems have been in operation for over a decade. However, the degradation of the load cells over time due to harsh environments, wear and tear, reduces the reliability of the tension measurement system. This study investigates the use of machine learning (ML) to model tendon tensions using historical TTMS data with reduced number of reliable tension measurements. Building models, training and validation of these models are evaluated and presented to demonstrate how ML can provide reasonable tension estimates and help extend the useful life of the TTMS. Outputs from these models are presented and discussed, with a focus on accuracy in relation to the number of model inputs. Observations from models simulating reduced inputs with no TTMS measurements from at least one tendon are elucidated. This paper demonstrates how ML from TTMS data can estimate tendon tensions reasonably, with a reduced number of reliable measurements. Implementation of these techniques can help to extend the useful life of these TTMS.

Abstract:
Hurricane Lili permitted an assessment of the global performance of several deepwater structures under a major environmental event. The US Minerals Management Service (MMS) commissioned American Global Maritime Inc. (AGMI) to collect and assess information on the performance of the deepwater production facilities that were impacted by Lili. The Shell Brutus Tension Leg Platform (TLP) provided comprehensive measurements of winds, motions and tendon tensions during Lili. The tendon tension data recorded was analyzed in both the time and frequency domain and tendon tension statistics were comparable to the relevant design values. Other relevant comparisons included natural period and damping estimates. Overall the design ‘recipe’ adopted for Brutus was sufficient to prevent exceedance of design capacities and damage to the hull structure and tendons during Hurricane Lili. The lessons learned from the analyses and recommendations for further work are also summarized in this paper.

Abstract:
Spontaneous tendon ruptures of the wrist are a rare pathology, usually secondary to rheumatoid arthritis or distal radius fractures and most commonly evolving the extensor pollicis longus. Sport-related etiology is a growing tendency of this pathology. As far as the authors know, this is one of the first sport-related extensor carpi radialis brevis (ECRB) isolated spontaneous rupture described in the literature. We describe a case of a 41 year-old female amateur kickboxer who developed acute dorsal radial pain in the right wrist during practice. After attempting conservative treatment for 4 months with rest and NSAIDs she recurred at our clinic. Local pain at dorsal wrist extension was observed. MRI demonstrated an isolated ECRB rupture with associated fibrous tissue proximal to the extensor retinaculum. Surgical management was proposed and consisted of fibrous tissue debridement and ECRB-ECRL tenodesis. At 3 months of follow-up the patient reported return-to-play with impaired wrist motion and mild pain at maximum wrist extension. At 12 months of follow-up the patient was completely recovered and asymptomatic. Isolated tendon ruptures are a rare pathology, causing extreme pain and disability in the sport setting. Surgical management of this ECRB tendon rupture by tenodesis allowed for appropriate pain control and functional results and early return-to-play.
