What is Posterior Tibial Dysfunction? (“Acquired Flatfoot”) When someone loses the function of his or her posterior tibialis tendon (a tendon that passes under the ankle and lifts the arch of your foot), he or she will most likely develop posterior tibial dysfunction. The tendon can tear from injury, can suffer from tendinitis, or can include muscle dysfunction. Once the tendon is damaged, the result will often be a loss of support for the foot’s arch and a flatfoot deformity. The flatfoot is correctable, but if ignored, a permanent deformity may result.
Classification of Tibialis Posterior Dysfunction and Clinical Presentation There are various classification systems available for PTT dysfunction. According to Hutchinson and O’Rourke (1995) and Landorf (1997), the various stages in the pathological development of TPD can be categorised. They are as follows:
Stage 1 Primarily an asymptomatic stage. Generally there is an underlying biomechanical fault that may predispose any symptomatology.
Stage 2 -This is the initial symptomatic stage. At this stage posterior tibial tendonitis is the major symptom. Only a mild weakness is present.
Stage 3 During this stage there is significant dysfunction of the tendon. This can be the result of a tear, attenuation or partial rupturing of the tendon. Patients are generally presenting with mid foot pronating and the forefoot abducting.
Stage 4 This is the end stage of development of the disorder. There is a rapid progression of the above mentioned symptoms. Movement is severely restricted due to the rigidity of the condition.
