Let Ω be a connected and simply-connected open subset of R^n such that the geodesic distance in Ω is equivalent to the Euclidean distance. Let there be given a Riemannian metric (g_{ij}) of class C^2 and of vanishing curvature in Ω, such that the functions g_{ij} and their partial derivatives of order ≤ 2 have continuous extensions to Ω. Then there exists a connected open subset Ω' of Rn containing Ω and a Riemannian metric (g'_{ij}) of class C^2 and of vanishing curvature in Ω' that extends the metric (g_{ij}).
