[Bilateral subcutaneous rupture of the tendon of the anterior tibial muscle and its differential diagnosis].

An own singular case of a subcutaneous rupture of the tibialis anterior tendon on both sides is added to the few one-sided which have been published. A connection between a damage of the tendinous tissue and a minimal injury be discussed. The problem of diagnosis is described in this case. In the differential diagnosis the tibialis-anterior-syndrome, a pain in the peritenon or insertion are compared. Early suture of the torn tendon with appropriate post-operative treatment is the treatment of choice.
