Title - Repair of the Tibialis Anterior Tendon Using a Semitendinosus Autograft: A Case Report Abstract: Introduction The tibialis anterior tendon is the prime dorsiflexor of the ankle. Ruptures of this tendon are rare but can cause considerable functional deficits. Despite this, the literature on this lesion is sparse. [1] Conclusion Rupture of tibialis anterior tendon, although an infrequent entity to occur, using semitendinosus tendon as a donor graft aids to achieve admirable functional outcome. Large gaps resulting from tibialis anterior tendon ruptures can be successfully bridged with a free semitendinosus tendon graft and has low donor site morbidity.
