Video Summary

In this video, the presenter discusses the surgical management of tibialis anterior tendon (TAT) ruptures. They highlight the negative impact of this condition on patients' quality of life and the lack of consensus on the appropriate surgical treatment due to limited data. The presenter conducted a systematic review of the literature, evaluating the level and quality of evidence of the included studies. They found that direct repair, tendon transfers, and autografts were the most common techniques used. Statistical analysis showed that direct repair and autografts had better postoperative scores compared to allografts, and autografts had better scores than tendon transfers. Surgical intervention showed significant improvements in dorsiflexion strength. The presenter concludes by proposing a treatment algorithm based on the reviewed literature. No credits were granted.
