PTTD, also known as posterior tibial tendon dysfunction or Adult-Acquired flat-foot deformity, is a condition that can significantly impact mobility and everyday life. The posterior tibial tendon is a vital connector between the calf muscle and the bones inside the foot.
It holds up the arch of your foot. When this tendon becomes injured or degenerates, it can't perform its role effectively, leading to a collapse of the arch, commonly known as flatfoot.
