  • Title: Acute rupture of the tibialis posterior tendon without fracture: a case report.
    Author: Martinelli N, Bonifacini C, Bianchi A, Moneghini L, Scotto G, Sartorelli E.
    Journal: J Am Podiatr Med Assoc; 2014 May; 104(3):298-301. PubMed ID: 24901592.
    Abstract:
    The acute rupture of the tibialis posterior (TP) tendon, compared to an acute rupture of the Achilles tendon, is a quite uncommon disease to be diagnosed in the emergency department setting. In most cases symptoms related to a TP dysfunction, like weakness, pain along the course of the tendon, swelling in the region of the medial malleolus, and the partial or complete loss of the medial arch with a flatfoot deformity precede the complete rupture of the tendon. In this case report, we describe an acute rupture of the TP tendon following a pronation-external rotation injury of the ankle with no association of a medial malleolus fracture and with no history of a prior flatfoot deformity or symptoms.
