• ABSTRACT
    • PTT dysfunction is the most common cause of adult acquired flat foot deformity. The aggressive nonoperative approach has become accepted more widely, in part because of the advances in orthotic and bracing technology and options. Many patients with a PTT dysfunction can be treated effectively with conservative management protocols. The goal of alleviating pain and correcting deformities is being accomplished with the proper application of the wide spectrum of orthotic modalities available today.
