The tibialis anterior tendon revisited: a unified classification framework across development, evolution, and clinical application

The tibialis anterior tendon (TAT), the terminal extension of the tibialis anterior muscle (TAM), plays a key role in dorsiflexion and inversion of the foot. Although the TAM exhibits morphological constancy, its tendon demonstrates substantial variability in distal insertion patterns, with direct i...
