Septic Tenosynovitis of the Lower Extremity: A Case Report

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In the video presentation, Chris Michael discusses a case report and literature review on septic tenosynovitis and rupture of the tibialis anterior tendon. Tibialis anterior injury is rare, but when it occurs, it is the third most common tendon rupture in the lower extremity. The mechanism of injury involves plantar flexion and eversion or direct trauma to the tendon. The presentation focuses on a unique case of tibialis anterior rupture as a complication of septic tenosynovitis, which has not been previously described. The video discusses the patient's medical history, examination findings, imaging results, treatment approach, and prognosis. Early recognition and treatment are important to avoid severe complications.
