Tibialis Posterior Tendonitis

Middle-aged men and women who are overweight commonly experience this condition due to degenerative changes in the tendon. The tendon rupture can be partial or complete, causing pain below or behind the inside ankle bone, known as the medial malleolus. It is not uncommon to observe a flattened arch in these cases. Treatment options often involve anti-inflammatory approaches such as physical therapy modalities, the use of orthoses for support, and surgical debridement when necessary. These interventions aim to alleviate symptoms and promote healing for improved functionality.
