Abstract
Closed spontaneous rupture of the anterior tibial tendon is an uncommon injury that occurs after relatively minor trauma in middle-aged and elderly men. A 72-year-old retired physician sustained a complete anterior tibial tendon rupture while he was skiing cross-country. Direct primary repair of the tendon resulted in satisfactory restoration of muscle strength and return to an active life-style.
