 Tibialis Posterior Tendon Dysfunction
The tibialis posterior muscle originates from the posterior aspect of the interosseous membrane, the superior two thirds of the postero ­ medial aspect of the fibula and the superior aspect of the posterior surface of the tibia (Landorf, 1995, Myerson, 1993, Roukis et al, 1996, Blake et al, 1994).
The function of tibialis posterior as a supinator of the subtalar joint and an adductor of the midtarsal joint results in it having an antagonistic relationship with the peroneal muscles, especially peroneus brevis (Landorf, 1995 Mann and Thompson, 1985).

 Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery: Dysfunction of the tendon of tibialis posterior
Its acute angulation as it passes posterior to the medial malleolus and the zone of hypovascularity distal to the medial malleolus contribute to the pathology.
The tendon of tibialis posterior does not have a mesotendon.
There is an area of relative hypovascularity immediately distal to the medial malleolus, which may contribute to the development of degenerative changes and consequent rupture.

 Tibialis posterior muscle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
As well as being a key muscle for stabilisation, the tibialis posterior muscle also contracts to produce inversion of the foot and assists in the plantar flexion of the foot at the ankle.
The Tibialis posterior is the most central of all the leg muscles.
The tendon of tibialis posterior the decends down posterior to the medial malleolus and to the plantar surface of the foot where it inserts on to the tuberosity of the navicular, the first and third cuneiforms, the cuboid and the second, third and fourth metatarsals.

 Tibialis posterior tendon
Tears of the tibialis posterior tendon are associated with inability to supinate and invert the foot and with progressive and painful pes planovalgus deformity of the foot.
The tibialis posterior muscle plays a critical role in preventing valgus deformity of the hindfoot and excessive pronation of the forefoot.
This tendon is intimately related to the other posterior tendons at the level of the medial malleolus.
