• Delayed diagnosis may lead to spread of infection to surrounding tissues and tendon rupture.
• Tibialis anterior tendonis encased in asynovial sheath that runs from above the superior extensor retinaculum to the talonavicular joint.
• Onlyfive cases of pyogenic tenosynovitis of the tibialis anterior tendonhave been reported in the literature.
