Posterior Tibial Tendonitis Surgery. These exercises are designed to stabilize your ankle and foot removing stress and strain of the posterior tibialis tendon. Posterior tibial tendonitis can be repaired by surgery if non surgical methods are not effective.
The posterior tibial tendon is a strand of fibrous connective tissue that connects the gastrocnemius muscle to the bones of the inner foot. Posterior tibialis tendon surgery is a way to fix the tendon on the back of your calf that goes down the inside part of your ankle. Exercise is an efficient way to treat posterior tibial tendonitis.
In early cases ptt reconstruction is possible by removing the diseased tendon an replacing it with a nearby tendon known as the flexor digitorum longus fdl that helps to flex the little toes.
These exercises are designed to stabilize your ankle and foot removing stress and strain of the posterior tibialis tendon. Exercise is an efficient way to treat posterior tibial tendonitis. The tendon dysfunction may then be treated with a permanent ankle or leg brace. So if the deformity is still soft and orthopaedic insoles alone do not bring about long term improvement surgery or reconstruction of the posterior tibial tendon can stabilise the longitudinal arch of the foot again.
