Precision Treatment for Posterior Tibial Dysfunction

Posterior tibial dysfunction is a condition affecting the tendon that supports the arch of the foot, leading to flat foot deformity, pain, and instability. Our surgeons use advanced diagnostic imaging and surgical techniques to repair or reconstruct the damaged tendon and restore proper foot mechanics. Through carefully planned procedures, we can address the underlying structural problems, strengthen the arch support, and eliminate pain while restoring your ability to walk and stand comfortably.


Our surgical approach combines tendon repair with corrective procedures to restore optimal foot alignment and function. Depending on the severity of the dysfunction, we may perform tendon transfer, reconstruction, or augmentation using specialized techniques and tissue grafts when necessary. We also address any associated structural deformities such as flat foot or heel valgus to ensure comprehensive correction. Most patients experience significant improvement in pain and stability within the first few weeks, with progressive strengthening and full functional recovery typically achieved within three to four months.


Posterior tibial dysfunction commonly results from overuse, traumatic injury, inflammatory conditions, or degenerative changes in the tendon. Beyond surgical correction, we emphasize proper footwear with arch support, activity modification, physical therapy, and biomechanical support to protect your healing tendon and prevent recurrence. By restoring tendon integrity and foot alignment, we help you return to normal activities and maintain long-term foot health and stability.
