Posterior Tibial Tendonitis and Tears What causes posterior tibial tendonitis or tears? Posterior tibial tendon problems can occur for a variety of reasons, including: 1  Overuse: Overuse symptoms occur after activities that use the tendon, such as walking, hiking or climbing stairs, especially when a person is not used to such activities.n most cases, the symptoms of posterior tibial tendonitis develop gradually. When the tendon tears, the symptoms are more obvious. Symptoms may include the following: 1  Pain and swelling on the inside of the ankle. 2  Loss of the arch and the development of a flatfoot. 3  A rolling of the ankle and foot inwards.

- Tibialis Anterior Muscle. The tibialis anterior muscle is a long, narrow muscle in the anterior compartment of the lower leg. Arising from origins along the lateral condyle and proximal body of the tibia, it runs down the shin just lateral to the tibia. Just above the ankle, the muscular body of the tibialis anterior ends and its long tendon extends across the medial side of the ankle and into the foot. In the foot, the tendon forms insertions on the first metatarsal and first cuneiform bones.

Anatomy The posterior cruciate ligament is located in the back of the knee. It is one of several ligaments that connect the femur (thighbone) to the tibia (shinbone). The posterior cruciate ligament keeps the tibia from moving backwards too far. An injury to the posterior cruciate ligament requires a powerful force. A common cause of injury is a bent knee hitting a dashboard in a car accident or a football player falling on a knee that is bent.

- Dr. Jordan Leith, MD, MHSc, FRCPC, Sport Med Orthopedic Surgeon. A combined posterior cruciate ligament, posterior lateral corner injury is a significant knee injury that occurs in trauma such as motor vehicle accidents and athletic injuries. It’s more significant than an anterior cruciate ligament, than a meniscus tear, than a posterior cruciate ligament injury in isolate. And what it involves, looking at a model of the knee, you have your kneecap, you’ve got your femur or your thighbone. You’ve got your tibia, your shinbone.

Polymorphism (biology) Polymorphism is common in nature; it is related to biodiversity, genetic variation and adaptation; it usually functions to retain variety of form in a population living in a varied environment. The most common example is sexual dimorphism, which occurs in many organisms.enetic polymorphism is actively and steadily maintained in populations by natural selection, in contrast to transient polymorphisms where a form is progressively replaced by another. By definition, genetic polymorphism relates to a balance or equilibrium between morphs.

Posterior Shin Splints Posterior Shin Splints Symptoms. Pain and cramping in the small muscles of the lower leg below the knee and shin. Cause. Outside of acute trauma, it is commonly accepted that most foot-related pathologies arise from a biomechanically unsound structure that has been subjected to excessively repetitive activity. Acute or chronic symptoms manifest as a result of varying levels of intensity.

Anterior Tibial Tendonitis Tibialis Anterior Tendonitis is an irritation and swelling of one of the main tendons that lifts the foot up –the anterior tibial tendon which is also known as the tibialis anterior. This condition leads to pain in the front of the ankle or the medial midfoot where it inserts on the bone(Figure 1).ibialis Anterior Tendonitis leads to pain and often swelling in the front of the ankle and into the midfoot. Sometimes the tendon may have degeneration within it as well, and not just inflammation. Symptoms typically occur in middle aged and older individuals. Symptoms are aggravated by standing and walking.

Posterior Tibial Tendonitis Posterior tibial tendonitis can be a precursor to posterior tibial tendon dysfunction where there is progressive loss of strength in the tendon and a progressive flattening of the arch. Anatomy The posterior tibial tendon starts in the deep portion of the calf and runs behind the prominent bone on the inside of the ankle. The tendon continues along towards the foot and inserts into multiple locations on the inside and the bottom of the arch.
