Simultaneous Extensor Hallicus Longus Tendon Laceration and Dorsalis Pedis Artery Pseudoaneurysm: A Case Report and a Review of the Literature

BACKGROUNDExtensor Hallicus Longus (EHL) tendon lacerations with Dorsalis Pedis (DP) artery injuries are uncommon when present together. Insufficient literature exists regarding surgical management of these injuries. We a case delayed presentation 29-year-old male who sustained Zone 4 EHL laceration to the dorsal midfoot concomitant DP pseudoaneurysm. Magnetic resonance imaging showed 5.5cm diastasis between stumps and Computed Tomographic Angiography confirmed Co-case Orthopedic Vascular Surgery where performed excision repair pseudoaneurysm allograft reconstruction successful functional outcome at follow up. Given paucity on no evidence reported pseudoaneurysm, we believe that this combined can be used as guide help clinicians patients in clinical decision-making process.
