Rupture of the tibialis posterior tendon: an important differential in the assessment of ankle injuries

A P Foster et al. Emerg Med J. 2005 Dec.

Abstract

Rupture of the tibialis posterior tendon can be missed. We report a case of posterior tibialis tendon rupture that, owing to misdiagnosis, resulted in a significant foot deformity requiring arthrodesis for chronic pain.
