Abstract
OBJECTIVES: To present a case of a tibialis anterior muscle herniation in a soccer player. CLINICAL FEATURES: A 28-year-old male soccer player presented with a trauma-induced injury to his right anterior shin. After assessment and due to his clinical signs and symptoms, a high suspicion of tibialis anterior muscle herniation was suspected. INTERVENTION AND OUTCOMES: Diagnostic ultrasound confirmed this diagnosis, and a trial of conservative therapy was recommended. After eight weeks of treatment, he was able to return to sport. SUMMARY: A trial of conservative treatment for the tibialis anterior muscle hernia should be included as a part of general treatment strategy prior to any surgical interventions. © JCCA 2020.
