The tibialis anterior is most frequently involved and symptomatic cases present with an activity\u2011dependent bulge and pain. Dynamic ultrasonography (USG) confirms the diagnosis while magnetic resonance imaging can delineate the defect and exclude other differentials.\n\nCase Report: A 35\u2011year\u2011old male had exertional anterior shin pain with a reducible swelling over mid\u2011tibialis anterior that accentuated on dorsiflexion. Dynamic USG confirmed a focal fascial defect with herniation. After failed conservative treatment, the defect was bridged using an inlay ovine extracellular matrix patch to avoid high\u2011tension primary closure. Post-operative rehabilitation enabled return to full sport within weeks; he remained symptom\u2011free at follow\u2011up.\n\nConclusion: For tibialis anterior herniation, tension\u2011free patch reconstruction is a reasonable option to preserve function and reduce the risk of compartment syndrome associated with tight fascial approximation.\n\nKeywords: Tibialis anterior herniation, myofascial herniation, dynamic ultrasonography, ovine extracellular matrix, patch repair, compartment syndrome.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.13107\/jocr.2026.v16.i05.7228","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,13]],"date-time":"2026-05-13T14:38:26Z","timestamp":1778683106000},"page":"127-130","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Tibialis Anterior Muscle Herniation Managed with Ovine Extracellular Matrix Patch: Case Report"],"prefix":"10.13107","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Bhushan","family":"Sabnis","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedics, SportsMed, Mumbai, Maharashtra, India."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hitarth","family":"Gathani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedics, SportsMed, Mumbai, Maharashtra, India."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tushar","family":"Sawant","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedics, SportsMed, Mumbai, Maharashtra, India."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Anant","family":"Joshi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedics, SportsMed, Mumbai, Maharashtra, India."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"5271","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026]]},"container-title":["Journal of Orthopaedic Case Reports"],"original-title":[],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,13]],"date-time":"2026-05-13T14:38:26Z","timestamp":1778683106000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/jocr.co.in\/wp\/2026\/05\/tibialis-anterior-muscle-herniation-managed-with-ovine-extracellular-matrix-patch-case-report\/"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2026]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"5","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2026]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.13107\/jocr.2026.v16.i05.7228","relation":{},"ISSN":["2321-3817"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2321-3817","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2026]]}}}
