What Causes A Flat Foot Despite A Normal MRI Report?

My 14 year old daughter had an MRI recently after an Irish dancing injury 3 months ago that has not healed. She is now suffering from a complete flat foot with too many toes sign and cannot get up on her toes. Pain in bottom of foot in ankle and back of lower leg. Her MRI report stated everything looked normal but after doing some research and comparison I noticed that something looked different with her Flexor Hallucis Longus Tendon. I have included images from her MRI. It looks to me like she had an accessory muscle and tendon just behind the FHL or there is a problem with that tendon. If this is an accessory muscle can it cause the problems I ve described ?

Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

I did not find her MRI images. An old musculoskeletal injury that has not healed needs to be evaluated by an orthopedic surgeon as soon as possible.I hope you will find one without delay. I hope your daughter will get the proper care and resume her dancing in short order.
