Abstract
- We report the case of a 32-year-old basketball player who presented with an acute flatfoot deformity after performing a unipodal power jump. Rupture of the posterior tibial tendon within the foot was diagnosed and then treated by hamstring tendon transfer combined with application of autologous biologic preparations. The functional outcome at 18 months was good. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of posterior tibial tendon rupture treated by hamstring tendon transfer.
