The tibialis anterior tendon bursa is located between the tibialis anterior tendon and the medial cuneiform bone and close to the tendon insertion. Bursitis can occur as a result of excessive local friction, infection, arthritides, or direct trauma. Endoscopic resection of the bursa is indicated in case of symptomatic bursitis that is not responding to conservative treatment or infection is suspected. It is contraindicated if there is skin infection at the portal sites. The purpose of this technical note is to describe a minimally invasive approach of endoscopic resection of the tibialis anterior tendon bursa through anterior tibial tendoscopy.
