CEBOLLA-TOSAN, J; PABLOS-GONZALEZ, O y PLANO-JEREZ, X. Hidden posterior tibial tendon dislocation after ankle sprain: case report. Acta ortop. mex [online]. 2023, vol.37, n.2, pp.118-120. Epub 06-Mayo-2024. ISSN 2306-4102. https://doi.org/10.35366/112993.
Introduction:
traumatic posterior tibial tendon dislocation is a rare entity that can go unnoticed in our usual clinical practice.
Material and methods:
a 31-year-old man, with no relevant medical history, suffered a high-energy traffic accident. He presented a dislocation of the posterior tibial tendon that went unnoticed. After an early diagnosis, a primary repair of the flexor retinaculum was performed and the anatomical reduction of the tendon was achieved.
Results:
the patient was able to resume sports activity three months after the injury with good functional results.
Conclusions:
we should suspect this entity after high-energy trauma with ankle sprains. Surgical treatment of this lesion offers good functional results.
