She was diagnosed with a complete, retracted extensor hallucis longus (EHL) rupture. A recommendation for acute repair was made, but she opted against surgery and was treated with observation and supportive care. At 1 year, the patient regained active extension of her big toe and had no gait disturbances or functional impairment.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>There is no literature on the natural history of a retracted EHL rupture.
