Description
Pyogenic tenosynovitis is a bacterial infection of the synovial sheath that surrounds a tendon.
Commonly occurs within flexor tendons of the hand; theoretically can occur within any sheathed tendon.
Delayed diagnosis may lead to spread of infection to surrounding tissues and tendon rupture.
Tibialis anterior tendon is encased in a synovial sheath that runs from above the superior extensor retinaculum to the talonavicular joint.
Only five cases of pyogenic tenosynovitis of the tibialis anterior tendon have been reported in the literature.
None of the reported cases were due to animal bite injury.
