It arises from inflammation or tearing of the posterior tibial tendon, crucial for supporting the arch, caused by overuse, aging, or trauma. Symptoms include pain and swelling along the foot and ankle, necessitating prompt diagnosis. Untreated, PTTD affects foot alignment and function, causing gait abnormalities and potentially impacting the knees and hips. Short-term effects entail sharp pain and fatigue; long-term, it may cause chronic pain, arthritis, or deformities. Recovery involves structured rehabilitation focusing on inflammation reduction and function restoration, taking weeks to months. Early intervention, proper footwear, and exercises are vital for management and prevention. Regular follow-ups with healthcare providers can significantly improve outcomes.
