title: Muscle hernia in a recreational athlete.
abstract: Muscle hernia is not a new entity but has received little attention in the medical literature. With the public's increased interest in fitness and physical conditioning, it is likely that the orthopaedic surgeon will encounter these injuries. We present the case of a recreational athlete with a peroneus longus muscle hernia that was successfully treated by fasciotomy.
