Posterior tibial tendon dysfunction (PTTD) occurs when the tibialis posterior muscle is not functioning properly. This muscle originates on the inside of the lower leg (tibia), travels around the inside of the ankle (medial malleolus) and attaches to a few structures under the bottom of the foot. It helps to prevent the arch and the ankle from rolling in\/collapsing. When this muscle stops working or breaks down, the ankle and the arch roll in as the muscle cannot support them anymore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
