Rupture du tendon tibial antérieur chez un footballeur : à propos d'un cas et revue de la littérature

Rupture of the tibialis anterior tendon is a rare injury. Spontaneous ruptures tend to occur in males over 45 years of age. The clinical triad of a “pseudotumor” at the anteromedial aspect of the ankle, loss of the tendon contour over the ankle, and weakness of dorsiflexion of the foot, is highly suggestive of tibialis anterior rupture. Surgical repair of the tendon following traumatic rupture has been shown to produce better outcomes than conservative management.
