Abstract
Several procedures are available for the treatment of posterior tibialis tendon dysfunction. The procedure that is chosen for a specific patient should address the patient's unique problem and make biomechanical sense. A fusion should be avoided, if possible; however, if a fusion is the appropriate solution, one should not hesitate to do it.
