In this video, we talk about the posterior tibial tendon, its function, injuries, and treatment options.
The posterior tibial tendon attaches the calf muscle to the bones inside the foot and supports the foot and arch while walking.
Flat feet or constant stress will cause the tendon to fray and tear, resulting in posterior tibial tendon dysfunction.
Our physicians are nationally recognized experts with decades of experience in foot and ankle tendon care and use the latest technologies available.
