Abstract
|
|
|
Chronic extensor hallucis longus (EHL) tendon rupture is relatively rare, but in such cases, surgical repair is necessary to prevent hallux dysfunction. To the best of our knowledge, reconstruction of chronic EHL rupture using a split tibialis anterior tendon autograft has not been previously reported. Here we present a case of spontaneous EHL tendon rupture with a 5 cm gap in a healthy 57-year-old woman.
At the 1-year follow-up evaluation, hallux function was restored, and the patient was well satisfied with results.
