Wide-awake local anesthesia No tourniquet (WALANT) for reconstruction of flexor pollicis longus ruptures following volar plate fixation of distal radius fractures- A Case series

Background: The flexor pollicis longus tendon rupture following distal radius fractures is a known complication and reconstruction with interposition tendon graft achieved a good outcome. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the outcome of FPL tendon reconstruction using the wide-awake local anesth...
