Duration of the Tibialis posterior syndrome

The duration of tibialis posterior syndrome depends on the severity of the disease and on early diagnosis and treatment. If it is diagnosed and treated too late, many structures are usually already irreparably damaged as a result. In this case, often only an operative, surgical intervention can help.

Prognosis of tibialis posterior syndrome

The earlier the diagnosis is made and the treatment is started, the better the prognosis. If there is continuous incorrect and excessive strain over a longer period of time, this leads to further damage to muscles, tendons, bones and ligaments.

Complication Torn tendon

Tendons initially react to incorrect strain with swelling, warming and inflammation. If this is not treated, longitudinal cracks can develop, which over time can lead to rupture of the tendon. In the case of the tibialis posterior tendon, the longitudinal arch of the foot collapses completely, the stability of the foot is reduced and the acquired flat foot is finally formed.
