VAGO ANAYA, Fernando M  e  LONCHARICH, Emiliano. Rotura traumática del extensor propio del hallux en la inserción distal: Reporte de un caso. Rev. Asoc. Argent. Ortop. Traumatol. [online]. 2018, vol.83, n.4, pp.298-302. ISSN 1852-7434.

Extensor hallucis longus ruptures are infrequent, mainly those due to spontaneous or indirect traumas. Ruptures can occur anywhere along the tendon course, but the most frequent injuries are tendinous sections due to sharp wounds. There is no specific surgical technique described for distal reinsertion of the tendon. The objective of this paper is to present a 35-year-old patient who suffered an indirect trauma in forefoot, causing the rupture of extensor hallucis longus at the level of the distal insertion. Surgical technique, rehabilitation program, and results according to the pre- and post-surgery AOFAS score are described.
