A member asked:

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Muscle hernia: Treatment for tibialis anterior muscle herniation is controversial. Asymptomatic hernias require reassurance, but no specific treatment. Minimally symptomatic hernias may respond to conservative treatment with restriction of exercise and the use of an elastic support]. Traditional surgical options involve direct closure of the defect.
