Abstract:
An atraumatic rupture of the extensor hallucis longus tendon is a rare injury. Chronic overload due to contact sports, bony anomalies, previous operations, and drug injections close to the tendon have been reported as a cause. We report the case of a young patient who presented with an acute loss of function in his extensor hallucis longus tendon for no apparent reason.
