Abstract

Tibialis anterior (TA) tendon rupture is a rare injury that has been described and studied in orthopedic literature through case reports and low-volume case studies. This article reviews the current literature on TA tendinosis and acute and chronic ruptures. It discusses the patient presentation, physical examination, nonoperative management, surgical treatment options, and outcomes.
