Abstract

|
Anterior tibialis ruptures are a rare type of injury related to the foot and ankle. Specifically, chronic and non-traumatic ruptures are re- lated to preexisting chronic tendinopathic conditions and anatomical factors. These ruptures may cause persistent pain and functional impairments if neglected. Chronic tibialis anterior ruptures are frequently diagnosed late because the symptoms are not distinct. In cases with chronic or non-traumatic tibialis anterior tendon ruptures, tendons often become irreparable. Hence, various surgical options have been introduced to address this issue. The current surgical treatment options are as follows: free sliding anterior tibialis graft, extensor hallucis longus tendon transfer, and reconstruction with an allograft tendon. To date, there have been few reports about the reconstruc- tion technique using Z-plasty for irreparable tibialis anterior tendon ruptures. In this report, we present a rare case of the application of the tibialis anterior tendon reconstruction technique using Z-plasty and tenodesis for a middle-aged man with an irreparable avulsion injury rupture. We also present the management plan and prognostic outlook, as well as a subsequent review of the relevant literature.
