    Author: Quinn MR, Mendicino SS.
    Journal: Clin Podiatr Med Surg; 1991 Jul; 8(3):543-54. PubMed ID: 1893334.
    Abstract:
    Ruptures and dysfunctions of the tibialis posterior tendon are often overlooked or misdiagnosed and can cause considerable loss of function to the patient. This article reviews the etiology, clinical as well as radiologic diagnosis, classification, and alternative surgical approaches. Case reports and photography of magnetic resonance imaging examples are included as well as a description of flexor digitorum longus tendon transfer in the treatment of this disorder.
