Several muscles and tendons around the ankle and foot act to counter-balance the action of the posterior tibial tendon. (alpineorthopedics.com)
When the posterior tibial tendon fails, the other muscles and tendons become relatively overpowering. (alpineorthopedics.com)
This transfer of force is accomplished by a diverse group of muscles and tendons collectively known as the CT band. (faoj.org)
Plantarflexion at the ankle is accomplished by eight different muscles and tendons. (faoj.org)
Calcaneal4
Surgical correction of hindfoot varus is frequently performed with a lateral displacement calcaneal osteotomy. (qxmd.com)
Furthermore, Pisani described a medial peritalar instability with posterior tibial tendon dysfunction as being both a possible cause and consequence of spring ligament injuries, referring to them as degenerative glenopathy.33 The acetabulum pedis presents a panniculus adiposus in the middle and, then, medially the bone structure with navicular posterior facet and calcaneal anterior facets. (federicousuelli.com)
Methods: From May 2013 to December 2015, a total of 17 patients with 19 calcaneal fractures underwent surgical treatment using our new technique. (inion.com)
Conclusions: Osteotomy of the lateral wall of the calcaneus allows tension-free suturing and avoids damage to penetrating branches of the lateral calcaneal artery (LCA). (inion.com)
Medial5
[ 14 ] A widely accepted classification system, proposed by Johnson in 1989 and modified by Myerson in 1997, clarified treatment recommendations on the basis of the severity of the PTT dysfunction and the adaptation of the foot to collapse of the medial longitudinal arch. (medscape.com)
The initial procedure is a radical plantar or plantar-medial release-plantar fasciotomy, with a dorsal closing-wedge osteotomy of the first metatarsal base if necessary. (medscape.com)
It is usually accepted that acquired flatfoot deformity after injury is usually due to partial or complete tear of the posterior tibial tendon (PTT), with secondary failure of the other structures which maintain the medial longitudinal arch, such as the plantar calcaneo-navicular (SPRING) ligament. (qxmd.com)
However, it is sometimes technically difficult to pass the suture through the posterior medial meni. (springeropen.com)
The purpose of this study was to compare the stability of medial opening-wedge high tibial osteotomy (MOWHTO) with and without different graft materials. (springeropen.com)
Insufficiency2
Insufficiency or dysfunction of the posterior tibial tendon (PTT) has historically been thought to be the most common cause of AAFD. (medscape.com)

Ligament6
It is unusual to find an isolated Spring Ligament (SL) tear, with an intact TP tendon. (qxmd.com)
Procedures may include ligament and muscle lengthening, removal of the inflamed tendon lining, tendon transfers, cutting and realigning bones, placement of implants to realign the foot, and joint fusions. (alpineorthopedics.com)
In general, early stage disease usually can be treated with tendon and ligament procedures with the addition of osteotomies (cutting/shortening of bone) to realign the foot. (alpineorthopedics.com)
In this system, the superficial branch of the deltoid ligament and the insertional portion of the posterior tibial tendon act as strengthening elements for the glenoid, laterally completed by the calcaneonavicular branch of the bifurcate (Chopart) ligament.34 This model is consistent according to Basmajian and Stecko's35 findings. (federicousuelli.com)
This force creates a posterior displacement of the tibia on the femur, potentially injuring the posterior cruciate ligament. (teachmeorthopedics.info)

(fortiusclinic.com)
Ankle12
This problem may progress from early stages with pain and swelling along the posterior tibial tendon to complete arch collapse and arthritis throughout the hindfoot (back of the foot) and ankle. (alpineorthopedics.com)
This muscle then turns into the posterior tibial tendon, which passes behind the inside of the ankle and attaches to the navicular bone along the instep of the foot. (alpineorthopedics.com)
In addition to tendons running across the ankle and foot joints, a number of ligaments span and stabilize these joints. (alpineorthopedics.com)
Patients with AAFD often experience pain, deformity, and/or swelling at the ankle or hindfoot. (alpineorthopedics.com)
When the posterior tibial tendon does not work properly, a number of changes can occur to the foot and ankle. (alpineorthopedics.com)
In early stages, symptoms often include pain and swelling along the posterior tibial tendon behind the inside of the ankle. (alpineorthopedics.com)
As the tendon fails over time, deformity of the foot and ankle may occur. (alpineorthopedics.com)
With a relatively flat arch, more stress is placed on the posterior tibial tendon and also on the ligaments on the inside of the foot and ankle. (alpineorthopedics.com)
Radiologic assessment included tibial anterior surface angle (TAS), talar tilt angle (TT), and tibial lateral surface angle (TLS) preoperatively and at 3 months and 12 months postoperatively, and clinical assessment was performed using American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) scores, Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) scores, and ankle dorsiflexion-plantarflexion ROM including preoperative and 6 months postoperative and 12 months postoperative. (bvsalud.org)
CONCLUSION: Our study demonstrated that SMOT was effective in correcting TAVD and significantly improving ankle function in adolescents, and that it is an efficient and successful method for restoring ankle joint congruence and normal hindfoot alignment. (bvsalud.org)
Our specialists are leaders in the treatment of foot and ankle conditions, for both amateur and professional athletes with a wide variety of foot and ankle problems, focusing on the delivery of excellent care to enable all patients to reach their personal goals. (fortiusclinic.com)

Anterior2
If the hindfoot is flexible and a posterior release is not necessary, posterior tibial tendon transfer can be done as part of the initial procedure for severe anterior tibial weakness. (medscape.com)
For instance, a blow to the anterior tibia might create upper tibial bruising. (teachmeorthopedics.info)
Extensor2
The Jones procedure includes transfer of the extensor hallucis longus tendon to the first metatarsal head and arthrodesis of the interphalangeal (IP) joint of the great toe. (medscape.com)

Treatment is determined by the age of the patient and the cause and severity of the deformity. (medscape.com)
A review paper by Faldini et al concluded that plantar fasciotomy, midtarsal osteotomy, the Jones procedure, and dorsiflexion osteotomy of the first metatarsal yielded adequate correction of flexible cavus feet in patients with CMT disease in the absence of fixed hindfoot deformity. (medscape.com)
In cases of cavovarus deformity, this test evaluates hindfoot flexibility. (medscape.com)
