    If physical therapy fails, patients will often be referred for surgery. [1] [2] Surgery procedures become more invasive as the condition progresses. Tenosynovectomy with tubularization; Medial calcaneal osteotomy with posterior tendon debridement and repair; Flexor digitorum tendon (FDL) transfer; Spring ligament reconstruction; Achilles tendon ...

  3. Tibialis posterior muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tibialis_posterior_muscle

    Posterior tibial tendonitis is a condition that predominantly affects runners and active individuals. It involves inflammation or tearing of the posterior tibial tendon, which connects the calf muscle to the bones on the inside of the foot. It plays a vital role in supporting the arch and assisting in foot movement.

    If non-invasive treatment measures fail, tarsal tunnel release surgery may be recommended. Tarsal tunnel release is a form of a nerve decompression to relieve pressure on the tibial nerve. The incision is made behind the ankle bone and then down towards but not as far as the bottom of foot. The posterior tibial nerve is identified above the ankle.

[3] If the joint does not stay reduced external fixation may be needed. [2] If the nerves and artery are intact the ligaments may be repaired after a few days ...

  8. Tendon transfer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tendon_transfer

    The donor tendon must also be expendable. In other words, it must not result in functional deficit after transfer. The remaining muscles must have enough level of strength to account for the loss of the original function of the donor muscle. Transfers can generally be classified into either power or positional transfers.

  9. High tibial osteotomy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_Tibial_Osteotomy

    High tibial osteotomy is an orthopaedic surgical procedure which aims to correct a varus deformation with compartmental osteoarthritis.Since the inception of the procedure, advancements to technique, fixation devices, and a better understanding of patient selection has allowed HTO to become more popular in younger, more active patients hoping to combat arthritis.
