Abstract

Successful treatment of posterior tibial tendon dysfunction depends on accurate staging and the appropriate selection of surgical procedures. Magnetic resonance imaging is the most sensitive diagnostic modality for evaluating the tendon and is also the best predictor of clinical outcome following surgery. Procedural selection for patients with posterior tibial tendon dysfunction depends on many factors, including the underlying cause, age, weight, apex of the deformity, and relative integrity of the posterior tibial tendon.
