Definition/Description[edit | edit source]
Whenever the tibialis posterior muscle contracts or is stretched, tension is placed through the tibialis posterior tendon. If this tension is excessive due to too much force or repetition, damage to the tibialis posterior tendon may occur. This can range from minor tearing of the tendon with subsequent inflammation to a complete tibialis posterior tendon rupture. Early diagnosis and surgical repair will restore full normal function.

A rupture of the posterior tibial tendon can be easily missed because the symptoms of this injury resemble the symptoms of a normal ankle sprain. Some physicians may feel that posterior tibial tendon rupture is a rare condition, one that they have never seen.
