Abstract

Adult acquired flatfoot deformity is a debilitating musculoskeletal condition affecting the lower extremity. Posterior tibial tendon dysfunction (PTTD) is the primary etiology for the development of a flatfoot deformity in an adult. PTTD is classified into 4 stages (with stage IV subdivided into stage IV-A and IV-B). This classification is described in detail in this article.

Keywords: Adult acquired flatfoot deformity; Ankle valgus; Deltoid ligament insufficiency; Deltoid ligament reconstruction; Posterior tibial tendon dysfunction.
