Abstract
Isolated acute anterior tibial (AT) tendon rupture is rare and can be missed, resulting in significant functional deformity of the affected limb. Early surgical treatment can improve functional patient outcomes, familiarity with patient presentation, including a history of ankle pain and swelling after hyper-plantar flexion and signs of a palpable dell and weak dorsiflexory strength at the ankle, and prompt confirmation with MRI are crucial.
