We have treated surgically 15 cases of spontaneous ruptures of tendones in the hand in the past 15 years. There were eleven females and four males. The average age was 52 years with a range from 16 to 71 year. Genesis were RA (4 cases), fracture (3 cases), OA (3 cases): (Madelung's deformity, radioulnar dislocation, Kienböck's disease), contusion (1 case) and 4 of unknown causes.
Flexor tendon injuries were 2 cases. (contusion: M-T junction, unknown: insertion). Other cases were extensor tendon injuries and ruptured portion were wrist joint. Tendon transfer was done principally. Darrach's operation and synovectomy etc. was performed according to necessity.
