A tear of the transverse carpal ligament attachment at the trapezial ridge without associated fracture has not been previously described. We present a detailed description of a 16-year-old Caucasian male patient treated at our institution, and a second supporting case of a 15-year-old Caucasian male patient with a similar mechanism of injury and diagnostic findings. It is important to be aware of this ligament tear, as it may affect clinical management, is occult on computed tomography, and only detectable on magnetic resonance imaging, stressing the worth of magnetic resonance imaging in the setting of acute wrist trauma.

Purpose: The flexor carpi radialis (FCR) tendon is often involved in surgical procedures of the hand and wrist. The FCR tendon may be mobilized from the trapezium during distal radius fracture fixation, for tendon transfer, and during carpometacarpal joint procedures. There is a paucity of literature describing the anatomy of the FCR insertion onto the trapezial ridge.

Subcutaneous flexor carpi radialis (FCR) tendon ruptures secondary to osteoarthritis of the scapho-trapezio-trapezoidal (STT) joint are very rare. A 53-year-old female suffered a subcutaneous FCR tendon rupture after noticing pain in her right wrist. Because of continuing pain and decreasing strength in her right hand, surgery of the STT joint arthrodesis and an FCR tendon reconstruction with free tendon graft was performed.
