| Popis: |
We report three cases of complete traumatic tibialis posterior tendon rupture which occurred after ankle fracture. Diagnosis was established at surgery. Repair of the non-degenerative tendon was achieved during the procedure for osteosynthesis of the malleolar fracture. Fractures healed a few months after surgery. The posterior tibialis muscle tendon functioned plantar arch was normal, except in one patient with multiple injuries who died in intensive care thirteen days after the accident. Although exceptional, injury of the tibialis posterior tendon should not be overlooked after ankle fracture. These injuries become apparent only at surgery for the malleolar fracture since pain hinders clinical examination. Primary suture best guarantees a good functional outcome. Residual pain, deficit in active inversion of the foot, modified medial longitudinal arch, or progression to planovalgus are retrospective diagnostic signs. |
