title: Tibialis anterior muscle hernia: rare but not uncommon.
abstract: Muscular hernias in the lower limb are a rare entity that have seldom been described in the literature, to the extent that the seminal paper on the subject remains a case series from 1929. Here, we present a case of tibialis anterior muscle hernia and discuss the aetiology behind the same. Furthermore, we attempt to amalgamate existing knowledge to provide some guidance for investigation and management of this important diagnostic consideration.
