TIBIALIS ANTICUS PARALYSIS

Malunion in a Fractured Tibia, Due to the Tendon of the Tibialis Anticus

On 28th January, 1919, the leg was operated on and the fractured area exposed. I, found the upper end of the lower tibial fragment feebly united to the fibular fragments. The fractured surface of the upper tibial fragment was completely covered over by the tendon of the tibialis anticus, which was firmly united to it by dense fibrous tissue. A spur of bone, shown in the first plate, arched over...

Tibialis posterior tendon dysfunction.

Dysfunction of the tibialis posterior tendon evolves through a series of stages. The pain symptoms, clinical signs, and roentgenographic changes for each of these stages are characteristic. This staging system permits clarification and individualization of dysfunction, expected pathologic changes, and surgical treatment. The importance of the tibialis posterior tendon in normal hindfoot functio...

The Extracellular Space of Voluntary Muscle Tissues

The volume occupied by the extracellular space has been investigated in six types of voluntary muscles: sartorius (frog), semitendinosus (frog), tibialis anticus longus (frog), iliofibularis (frog), rectus abdominis (frog), and diaphragm (rat). With the aid of four types of probe material, three of which are conventionally employed (inulin, sorbitol, sucrose) and one of which is newly introduce...

Repair of Chronic Tibialis Anterior Tendon Ruptures.

This article presents a novel technique for repair of chronic tibialis anterior tendon ruptures. All chronic tibialis anterior tendon ruptures reviewed were treated with this technique. Patients with chronic tibialis anterior tendon ruptures presenting to the authors' institution from 2006 to 2012 had preoperative and postoperative Foot and Ankle Ability Measure scores. The average follow-up ti...
