Mobility and posterior tibial tendon dysfunction (PTTD) in persons with flat foot: a case control study
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background Posterior tibial tendon dysfunction (PTTD) is a progressive and debilitating condition. Flat foot is a known associated factor of PTTD but there are still many questions about the biomechanical etiology of PTTD. Hypermobility in the first ray and first metatarsophalangeal joint (MPJ) is thought to be a causative factor in various foot pathologies including PTTD, however the association is not well established. This study aimed to (i) investigate whether hypermobility was associated with development of PTTD in flat footed persons and (ii) report a novel technique of quantifying the stiffness of foot joints.

RATIONALE Ankle syndesmotic injuries occasionally require long-term therapy for recovery and can result in tendon injury. Posterior tibial tendon dysfunction (PTTD) is an acquired deformity that can cause flatfoot deformity. The current nonoperative management of PTTD includes nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), orthopedic devices. Although various treatment options have been attempte...
