These injuries can be acute or atraumatic, with the latter often associated with chronic degenerative tendinopathy. Surgical repair is indicated when conservative measures fail in meeting functional demands. Direct end-to-end repair is the preferred method for TAT ruptures but may not be feasible with a large tendon defect. Various surgical techniques have been described to address this pathology, including allograft tendon interposition or extensor hallucis longus (EHL) transfer. The authors present a unique technique utilizing a minimal incision TAT turn-down with dermal matrix allograft augmentation, and, in addition, a case implementing this technique in a patient with a large insertional defect. The patient\u2019s postoperative course and outcomes were favorable, with improvements in pain, satisfaction, functional scores, and strength. The surgical technique offers versatility and can be adapted to different tendon defect sizes. It also allows for minimal-incision exposure, beneficial for patients with comorbidities or compromised skin integrity. In conclusion, the authors present a case report and surgical technique for the management of large-deficit, chronic TAT ruptures using split TAT turn-down. This technique provides a potential solution for cases where direct end-to-end repair is not feasible.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Level of Evidence<\/jats:bold>\n                    :\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">Level V<\/jats:italic>\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/19386400241235831","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,19]],"date-time":"2024-03-19T00:32:26Z","timestamp":1710808346000},"page":"70-78","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Tibialis Anterior Tendon Reconstruction Utilizing Split Tendon Turn-down: A Case Report and Technique Guide"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"19","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5627-2580","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zachary","family":"Hill","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"OhioHealth Grant Medical Center, Columbus, Ohio"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4689-7194","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ryan","family":"Stone","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons, Chicago, Illinois"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Timothy","family":"Holmes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"OhioHealth Grant Medical Center, Columbus, Ohio"},{"name":"Foot and Ankle Specialists of Central Ohio, Columbus, Ohio"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_2_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/107110070602700504"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.fcl.2017.07.009"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1053\/j.jfas.2018.08.001"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s004020050431"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3113\/FAI.2010.0412"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3928\/01477447-20160307-05"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00064-018-0571-7"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1071100715589006"},{"issue":"3","key":"e_1_3_2_10_2","first-page":"57","article-title":"Allograft reconstruction of spontaneous tibialis anterior tendon rupture in a diabetic patient","volume":"9","author":"Siang DKT","year":"2019","unstructured":"Siang DKT, Pitarini A, Koo K.
