Summary
Posterior tibial tendinitis, often from overuse, can be treated with immobilization and rehabilitation. Minimally invasive tenoscopy offers a simple, reproducible technique for chronic posterior tibial tendon dysfunction, yielding excellent results.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedics
- Sports Medicine
- Podiatry
Background:
- Posterior tibial tendinitis is common in athletes, often due to overuse or overload.
- It can be associated with systemic inflammatory conditions and classified as posterior tibial tendon dysfunction stage I.
- Initial treatments include immobilization and rehabilitation, with open surgery for persistent cases or partial ruptures.
