A member asked:
Have a complete tear of left flexor hallucis longus tendon. tear is in front of knot of henry. is surgery best or is something less invasive possible?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Experience counts.: It goes without saying that every patient's condition should be evaluated before applying general rules, but, if the laceration is distal (toward the toes) to the knot of Henry, then surgical repair is probably best. Find an experienced surgeon.
