MR imaging of dislocation of the posterior tibial tendon.
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this article is to describe the MR imaging appearance of seven cases of posterior tibial tendon dislocation and subluxation.


CONCLUSIONS
Posterior tibial tendon dislocation is a rare but important entity usually related to a previous traumatic event. The clinical diagnosis is often missed because of its rarity. MR imaging provides important clues to the diagnosis and preoperative evaluation of this condition.
