There are surgical sutures between two edges of the extensor hallucis longus tendon. However, there are no tendon fibers around the sutures that favor a defect in the repaired tendon; measuring about 20 mm in length. Passive toe movement doe not move the tendon proximal to the repair site.
Similarly, there are surgical sutures between two edges of the extensor hallucis brevis muscle. There is a defect of about 7 mm in length. Passive toe movement does not move the muscle proximal to the repair site.
The underlying dorsalis pedis artery is patent.
