A member asked:
Is there any relationship between anterior tibial tendon rupture and plantar fasciitis ?
7 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: Not that I am aware of. The anterior tibialis is muscle/ tendon on top of the foot/ankle. The plantar fascia is on the bottom of the foot. An anterior tibialis tendon rupture is an uncommon injury. Plantar fasciitis is very common.

Yes: The anterior tibial tendon is a major tendon from the leg that supports the midfoot or arch area. If this tendon looses function the foot can flatten and this will increase tension or stress on the plantar fascia or increase the likelihood of plantar fasciitis. In addition to addressing the tendon rupture, foot orthotics can help improve the biomechanics of the foot.
