Abstract

This article presents a case report in which spontaneous rupture of the tibialis anterior tendon occurred secondary to a gouty tophaceous deposit within the tendon. This report adds to the list of pathological conditions that should be considered in closed spontaneous rupture of the tibialis anterior tendon.Mesh:
