PTT Dysfunction
Most common
cause acquired
adult flatfoot
Adult Acquired Flatfoot
Classification
Stage Tendon Deformity
I Degenerated None (mild)
II Elongated,
partial tear
Flexible, ↑heel valgus, possible
forefoot abduction
III Elongated,
Partial tear
Stiff/fixed: minimal heel
inversion
IV Elongated,
partial tear
Valgus ankle tilt
• A diverse constellation of deformity
• Numerous names:
• PTTI, PTTD, Adult Acquired Flatfoot (AAFD),
Adult Progressive Flatfoot, Collapsing Pes
Valgus
Combined tendon/ligament failure
Stage II
• Variability in amount and types of
flexible deformity
• Two groups
• IIa
• IIb

IIa
• Less than 30% medial talar head uncoverage
(or no lateral incongruence)
• No clinical forefoot abduction
IIb
• More than 30% medial talar head uncoverage
or lateral incongruence
• Significant clinical forefoot abduction
Lateral Incongruence
Congruent
IIa
Incongruent
IIb
Anatomy & Function
• PTT insertions
• Navicular tuberosity, navicularcuneiform capsule,
medial, middle & lateral cuneiforms, cuboid, bases of
2nd-5th MT’s, & sustantaculum tali (Sarrafian)
• PTT function
• Inversion of subtalar joint
• Adduction of forefoot
• Supination of forefoot
• Antagonist
• Peroneal brevis
Function/Biomechanics
• Initiates heel rise
• Invert subtalar joint
• Locking transverse tarsal jts
• GSC powerful inverter after
inversion initiated by posterior
tib
• Patients w/ PTT dysfunction
• Unable to initiate heel rise
• Able to maintain heel rise once
on their toes
Pathophysiology
• Unopposed pull of peroneal brevis
•  forefoot abduction
• Attenuation in medial ligamentous structures
• Progressive collapse of arch
• End stage
• Marked calcaneal valgus
• Talus PF
• Forefoot abduction
Pathophysiology
• Spring Ligament
Complex
• Integrity of TN joint
• Superior medial
calcaneonavicular
ligament
• Inferior
calcaneonavicular
ligament
• Forefoot abd 
attenuation of spring
ligament
• Talus PF & equinus
contracture
Etiology
• “Critical zone of hypovascularity”
• Medial malleolus to navicular
• Diabetes
• Hypertension
• Obesity
• Trauma
Clinical Presentation
• Stage II: Flexible deformity
• Postural changes
• Heel valgus
• Loss of arch
• Forefoot abduction/varus
• Tendinosis
• Weakness
• Normal subtalar motion
• Pain
• Initially medial  lateral pain later
• Able to perform single toe rise early
• Unable to perform single toe rise late
Physical Exam
• Observation (front & behind)
• Deformity
• Fullness behind medial malleolus
• Single toe raise
• Evaluate TMT joints for
arthrosis/hypermobility (can mimic
PTT dysfunction)
Physical Exam
• Range of motion
• Muscle strength testing
• Swelling @ PTT
• Tenderness @
PTT/sinus tarsi
X-rays
• WB AP Foot
• Talo-2nd MT angle
• Lateral subluxation of
TN joint
X-rays
• WB Lateral Foot
• Sag of TN joint
• Talo-1st MT angle (Meary’s angle)
• Height of medial cuneiform or MT overlap
X-rays
• WB Ankle Series
• Hindfoot alignment view
• MRI
• Controversial in its role
Conservative Treatment
• Orthotic w/ medial heel lift, longitudinal
arch, medial forefoot post
• MAFO/Arizona brace
• For more severe flexible deformities
• UCBL to block abduction of forefoot
• Difficult to make
Chao & Wapner, CORR, 1999
Surgical Treatment
• Stage II: controversial
• Early
• FDL transfer
• Medial displacement calcaneal osteotomy
• Late
• Add
• Lateral column
• Lengthening/Evans
• CC fusion
• TAL
• Medial column procedure
• Cotton, Lapidus, PF osteotomy
• Spring ligament
• Repair vs reconstruction vs TN fusion
Equinus
Strayer
• Gastroc
• Sural nerve
• Larger incision
• More time
TAL
• Quick
• Atrophy of gastroc
• Loss strength
FDL Transfer
• Medial midline incision
• Retract addHal
• Knot of Henry
• Formal tenodesis
• Transfer through drill hole in navicular
• Tie at end of case
• Foot maximal inversion
FDL Transfer
FDL Only
• Stage II (flexible deformity)
• FDL transfer
• Results (Mann & Thompson)
• 88% satisfied
• 7/11 not satisfied had fixed hindfoot or forefoot
deformity
• No significant improvement in arch height
radiographically
Medial Displacement
Calcaneal Slide
• Theory
• Change the mechanical axis of the Achilles
• Improves inversion power
• Shifts weight bearing axis towards long axis of
tibia
• Usage
• Hindfoot valgus deformity
Medial Displacement

•Supine
•Incision
•1cm posterior to
peroneals
•Through skin only
