Be seen: You may want to ask your primary care doctor to refer you to either an orthopedic surgeon or a podiatrist. You would be well served to get it taken care of before it causes more problems.

Bowstring rare: The retinaculum. Is a band of tissue that prevents bowstringing. A repair should not cause tendon rupture. The anterior tibial tendon is a compartment entirely different from posterior tibial tendon. An evaluation by a orthopedic or podiatric foot and ankle surgeon is in order. The APMA. has a find a podiatrist function. Your local hospital or primary doctor could help you find a specialist.
