摘要
BACKGROUND: Traumatic dislocation of the tibialis posterior tendon at the ankle is a rare injury. Some of these cases are misdiagnosed as ankle sprains and are not treated properly. In addition, because the conservative treatment is not as effective as the surgical treatment, it is essential that patients be diagnosed early so that proper surgical treatment can be performed. We report the early surgical management of traumatic dislocation of the tibialis posterior tendon. CASE PRESENTATION: A 44-year-old Japanese man, who was a karate coach, was injured while acting as an umpire in a karate competition. On the same day of his injury, he came to our hospital. He complained of swelling and pain in the medial malleolus. Anterior dislocation of the tibialis posterior tendon was detected upon palpation. Magnetic resonance imaging showed the presence of anterior dislocation of the tibialis posterior tendon with retinaculum injury. Four days after the injury, we performed the Das De procedure as the surgical treatment. Three months after the surgery, the patient was able to participate in karate again. CONCLUSIONS: Dislocation of the tibialis posterior tendon is likely to be misdiagnosed, thus delaying the start of proper treatment. It is essential to diagnose the patient accurately by carefully assessing the physical symptoms manifested. Moreover, magnetic resonance imaging can also be used for better diagnosis, thereby leading to an early and proper surgical treatment.
