A member asked:
What can be done about posterior tibial tendon dysfunction?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Orthotics, brace or : Surgery. We always start with a foot orthotic to stabilize the foot. If that's not enough, a lower leg brace is used, and if that's not enough, surgery to re-route and tighten up the posterior tibial tendon is performed as a last resort. It's a frustrating and disabling problem.
