    AbstractWe report a rare occurrence of attritional rupture of flexor tendons caused by protrusion of the screw head of the volar radius plate. The cause of the protrusion was plate placement on the prominent distal volar lip of the radius and secondary loss of the original reduction due to using a non-locking osteosynthesis system for the treatment of displaced intra-articular fracture of the distal radius.
