Abstract:
Complete rupture of the posterior tibial tendon occurs infrequently. It can be caused by a variety of factors, including repeated steroid injections, chronic tenosynovitis, and decreased blood supply to the tendon. The authors report a world class runner who sustained a rupture requiring surgical intervention.
