Abstract

Flexor pollicis longus rupture due to scaphoid nonunion is very rare complication. It has never been reported in the Korean literatures. We reported a case of flexor pollicis longus rupture due to scaphoid non union that was treated by tendon graft with palmaris longus and osteosynthesis with bone graft.
