title: Tibialis posterior tendon dislocation: a case report.
abstract: Dislocation of the posterior tibial tendon is a rare event, which may occur after trauma particularly sporting accidents. These injuries are frequently misdiagnosed at the initial presentation leading to a delay in treatment. We describe a case of delayed presentation of an atraumatic dislocation of the posterior tibial tendon which was diagnosed accurately and managed with primary repair of the flexor retinaculum.
