Abstract
Reportedly, metalloproteases weaken tendon structure by acting as a collagenase in patients with Behçet syndrome. Also, vasculitis next to a tendon and steroid intake are considered to impede the tendon repair process. Hence, even minor trauma may lead to complete tendon rupture. Although an injury seems slight, we should take into account the possible history of bone and joint trauma.
