Posterior Tibial Tendon Dysfunction (PTTD)
As a podiatrist, I see many patients who experience foot and ankle pain. One common condition I diagnose is posterior tibial tendon dysfunction (PTTD). PTTD affects the posterior tibial tendon, a crucial structure that supports the arch of your foot. When this tendon weakens or tears, it can lead to pain, flattening of the arch, and even deformity.
