Repair of Chronic Tibialis Anterior Tendon Ruptures.

This article presents a novel technique for repair of chronic tibialis anterior tendon ruptures. All chronic tibialis anterior tendon ruptures reviewed were treated with this technique. Patients with chronic tibialis anterior tendon ruptures presenting to the authors' institution from 2006 to 2012 had preoperative and postoperative Foot and Ankle Ability Measure scores. The average follow-up ti...

Rupture of the tibialis anterior tendon.

Rupture of the tibialis anterior tendon is rare. There is usually a delay in diagnosis, probably because it is an uncommon entity. Diagnosis is easy however, and recovery with surgical treatment is satisfactory if repair is performed within the first three months following the initial trauma. After this period of time, an operation is less likely to be effective. We report a case with successfu...

Intramuscular Myxoma of the Tibialis Anterior Muscle

Intramuscular myxoma is a rare entity in itself, and while it has been described in several locations in the body, its presence in the tibialis anterior muscle has only been reported once in the literature. In this case report, we present, to our knowledge, the first case of an intramuscular myxoma in the tibialis anterior muscle in the English literature, which was successfully managed with wi...

Surgical Correction of Congenital Vertical Talus by One-stage Peritalar Reduction and Tibialis Anterior Transfer

Twenty-eight feet of 16 children with true congenital vertical talus (CVT) were treated surgically by one-stage peritalar reduction and tibialis anterior transfer to the neck of the talus. The male to female ratio was 3:1. Fifty percent (8 patients with 15 feet) were isolated CVT and the remaining (8 patients with 13 feet) were CVT associated with other congenital anomalies mostly arthrogryposi...
