The tendon passes behind the inner ankle bone (medial malleolus) and underneath the foot attaching to the tarsal bones. The tibialis posterior tendon is the main invertor of the foot and also helps the calf muscles to plantarflex the foot.
Medial ankle pain refers to pain on the inside of the ankle. Chronic ankle pain develops gradually over time and includes tendonitis (tendinopathy), stress fractures and nerve related injuries. Acute medial ankle pain is sudden onset and includes sprains, strains & fractures.
Posterior tibial tendonitis is a condition that results in pain on the inner side of the foot and ankle. It may cause instability while walking. Over time, the condition can lead to the arches becoming flattened, a condition called adult-acquired flatfoot deformity (AAFD).
Ankle Tendons: Inner Ankle. The Posterior Tibial Tendon runs along the inner aspect of the shin, around the medial malleolus (inner ankle bone) and attaches to multiple bones along the medial arch of the foot but primarily the navicular bone.
Patients who have posterior tibial tendinopathy present with medial ankle pain, pes planovalgus deformity, and a positive too many toes sign. Nonoperative treatment options include support...
A thick ligament, called the deltoid ligament, supports the medial ankle (the side closest to your other ankle). Ligaments also support the lower end of the leg where it forms a hinge for the ankle. This series of ligaments supports the ankle syndesmosis , the part of the ankle where the bottom end of the fibula meets the tibia.
This chapter discusses the anatomy and pathologies of major tendons of the medial ankle and plantar foot; the posterior tibialis tendon, flexor hallucis longus tendon, and the flexor digitorum longus tendon.
The medial collateral ligament is a strong, triangular band that reinforces the medial aspect of the ankle joint. This ligament is important to stabilize the ankle joint in eversion and prevent dislocations of the joint (over-eversion).
This article reviews the intricate anatomy and biomechanics of the major tendon groups that cross the ankle and hindfoot, including the Achilles, anterior tibial, posterior tibial, and peroneal tendons.
The tendons of the medial ankle may exhibit a range of pathologies, including tendinosis, partial or complete tears, tenosynovitis, and enthesopathy . In addition, tendon subluxation, often associated with flexor retinaculum injury or dysfunction, may be demonstrated with dynamic maneuvers.
