[Subcutaneous rupture of the tibialis anterior-tendon. (Report of 3 cases) (author's transl)].
In 1966 we saw 1, in 1973 2 cases of spontaneous rupture of the tibialis anterior-tendon. 2 patients were treated by operation, 1 declined it. A follow-up the operated patients had no symptoms and normal function. The non-operated patient also had no symptoms, but slight limitation of dorsiflexion and uncertain gait. One female and one male had been treated with local injections of cortisone before rupture. One can neither prove nor disprove a connection.
