Abstract:
Tibialis posterior dysfunction, a syndrome that leads to a progressive, unilateral, acquired flat foot, can be missed easily by the podiatric specialist. This paper discusses various etiologies, its clinical presentation, and varying treatment regimes. A case report using the flexor digitorum longus tendon transfer for its repair is presented.
