Isolated posterior tibialis tendon ruptures without a history of inflammation are rare injuries that are often missed. We present a case of a young paratrooper with an isolated PTT rupture that was managed surgically with a fiber wire enhanced graft and a flexor digitorum longus (FDL) tendon transfer. This course of therapy allowed the patient to quickly return to activity without complications.
