Varies: Depending on how severe the disease is and if there are full, partial, or longitudinal tears with or without spring ligament damage. Generally, it takes 3-4 weeks for tendons and ligaments to heal but the more severe a disease, the longer it takes to heal. For severe cases, long term bracing or surgery may be required. Please let me know if you have other questions.

Good question: It varies from patient to patient and what type of treatment you had. Did you have conservative therapy or surgery? It would be helpful.

Depends on tx: The method in which your posterior tibial tendon dysfunction was treated determines how long it will take to heal. Also, the severity of the condition is a crucial factor. Non weight bearing, followed by a custom made orthotic can heal in approx 4-6 weeks. Surgical intervention can take longer.
