Abstract
|
|
|
|
The tibialis anterior tendon functions as a major dorsiflexor of the ankle. A rupture in this tendon can cause serious problems in the ambulatory function. A closed traumatic rupture without open wound or an atraumatic rupture can delay diagnosis and treatment. There are not enough guidelines for an effective surgical treatment on this chronic condition. Herein, we report two cases of chronic tibialis anterior disruption successfully treated by semitendinosus autograft.
