We describe a case with the highly unusual complication of attritional ruptures to both the extensor tendons to the index and middle finger following Kirschner wire placements for a distal radial fracture. This particular complication has never been previously described in the literature. We also review the literature, identifying certain techniques in the management of distal radial fractures with Kirschner wires which are considered to increase the risk of tendonous or neurovascular injury. Finally, recommendations are made that should reduce the complications of iatrogenic soft tissue injury associated with this very common procedure.
