BACKGROUND: @entity12290 is a common cause of adult acquired @entity85 . The cause of @entity12290 is often multifactorial and may include @entity7184 , poor blood supply to the tendon, and, rarely, @entity397 . CASE DESCRIPTION: We present the case of a 69-year-old male with @entity12290 secondary to a @entity130 that occurred directly into the posterior tibial tendon. This injury led to an acquired adult @entity85 that ultimately required surgical reconstruction. At the time of surgery, the posterior tibial tendon was severely degenerative at the site of skin penetration. LITERATURE REVIEW: Previous case reports of @entity130 describe full-thickness skin penetration with a subsequent inflammatory response and large zone of @entity16925 . This is the first reported case of stingray @entity130 and @entity5900 directly into tendon with subsequent @entity409 . CLINICAL RELEVANCE: There are thousands of stingray injuries in the United States annually. Injuries vary in severity depending on the type of stingray, size of stingray, and depth and location of injury. For certain injuries, such as direct penetration into tendon, early irrigation and debridement may limit subsequent deficits caused by progressive @entity409 . LEVELS OF EVIDENCE: Therapeutic, Level IV: Case study.
