In human anatomy, the posterior tibial tendon, also call tibialis posterior, is a tendon on the sole of the foot.[1] It inserts onto the plantar surface of the foot mainly at the junction of the navicular and first cuneiform bones with smaller insertions on the cuboid and calcaneus bones.
Rupture or dysfunction of the posterior tibial tendon may cause adult flatfoot.[2]
