Abstract:
The posterior tibial tendon functions as a primary stabilizer of the medial longitudinal arch of the foot. Posterior tibial tendon dysfunction accounts for 80% of cases of adult-acquired flatfoot deformity. It is classified into 4 stages based on the function of the tibialis posterior tendon, the reducibility of the deformity, and the condition of the ankle joint. The purpose of this Technical Note is to describe the technical details of endoscopically assisted reconstruction of theposterior tibial tendon for stage 2 posterior tibial tendon dysfunction. It consists of using the medial half of the anterior tibialis tendon as a primary transfer and augmentation by the flexor digitorum longus. This construct is then protected with a subtalar arthroereisis.

Cranial Bones: Superior and Posterior View
The frontal bone is the single bone that forms the forehead. At its anterior midline, between the eyebrows, there is a slight depression called the glabella. The frontal bone also forms the supraorbital margin of the orbit. Near the middle of this margin is the supraorbital foramen, the opening that provides passage for a sensory nerve to the forehead. The frontal bone is thickened just above each supraorbital margin,...
