Arthritis is a common condition that affects millions of people, and when it involves the foot and ankle, it can significantly impact daily life. These joints support your entire body with every step you take, so when they become stiff or painful, even simple activities can feel challenging. Understanding what arthritis is, why it develops, and how it’s treated can help you take control of your symptoms and maintain long-term mobility.

What Is Arthritis?

Arthritis refers to inflammation and degeneration of the joints, leading to symptoms such as pain, stiffness, and swelling. In the foot and ankle, arthritis can develop in several joints, including:

The ankle joint
The big toe joint
The joints in the midfoot
The joints between the heel and midfoot

Because the foot contains 28 bones and more than 30 joints, arthritis can appear in multiple places—sometimes making diagnosis difficult without a specialist evaluation.

Posterior Tibial Tendon Dysfunction—often called PTTD or adult-acquired flatfoot—is a common condition that affects the tendon on the inside of your ankle. This tendon plays a major role in supporting the arch of your foot and helping you walk normally. When it becomes inflamed or damaged, your arch may collapse, leading to pain, instability, and difficulty with daily activities.

PTTD can range from mild tendon irritation to significant deformity. Recognizing the symptoms early and getting proper treatment can greatly improve long-term outcomes.

What Does the Posterior Tibial Tendon Do?

The posterior tibial tendon runs from the calf, behind the inside ankle bone, and attaches to the bones on the inside of the foot. Its main responsibilities include:

Supporting the arch of the foot
Helping stabilize the ankle
Assisting with walking, especially when pushing off the ground
When the tendon weakens or tears, the arch loses support, and the foot gradually turns inward.

What Causes PTTD?

PTTD typically develops from overuse, injury, or age-related changes. Common causes include:

Overuse Injuries
Activities that involve repetitive impact, such as running, hiking, or high-impact sports, can strain the tendon over time.

Trauma
A fall or ankle injury can cause a sudden tear or worsen an existing tendon problem.

Age-Related Changes
Tendons naturally lose elasticity and strength as we age, making middle-aged adults particularly susceptible.

At CFAR, we offer Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy, but what is it and how could it be used to treat you?

Platelet-rich plasma consists of two elements: plasma, or the liquid portion of blood, and platelets, a type of blood cell that plays an important role in healing throughout the body. Platelets are well-known for their clotting abilities, but they also contain growth factors that can trigger cell reproduction and stimulate tissue regeneration or healing in the treated area. Platelet-rich plasma is simply blood that contains more platelets than normal.

To create platelet-rich plasma, clinicians take a blood sample from the patient and place it into a device called a centrifuge that rapidly spins the sample, separating out the other components of the blood from the platelets and concentrating them within the plasma.

The midfoot plays an essential role in supporting body weight, maintaining balance, and enabling smooth movement while walking or running. A Lisfranc injury—named after a French surgeon who first identified the condition—involves damage to the bones or ligaments in this crucial part of the foot. Although relatively uncommon, these injuries can be serious and often require prompt orthopedic evaluation.

What Is a Lisfranc Injury?

The Lisfranc joint complex includes the bones and ligaments that connect the midfoot to the forefoot. These structures help stabilize the arch and transfer force with each step. Injury occurs when these ligaments are torn or when the bones in this area are fractured or displaced.

The peroneal tendons run along the outside of the ankle and play an important role in stabilizing the foot, supporting the arch, and preventing the ankle from rolling outward. When these tendons become irritated, torn, or unstable, patients often experience pain and difficulty with everyday activities. Understanding the warning signs and treatment options can help prevent long-term problems.

What Are the Peroneal Tendons?

There are two peroneal tendons:

Peroneus longus
Peroneus brevis

These tendons help control foot movement and contribute to balance during walking, running, and jumping. Because they sit close to the ankle, they are vulnerable to injury during twisting motions or repetitive stress.

Common Causes of Injury

Peroneal tendon injuries occur for several reasons, including:

Overuse: Repetitive ankle motion or increased training intensity can lead to inflammation.
Ankle sprains: Rolling the ankle outward can stretch or tear the tendons.
High-arched feet: This foot shape places more stress on the peroneal tendons.
Sudden trauma: Falls, missteps, or hard landings during sports.
Poor footwear: Shoes without proper support increase strain on the tendons.

Athletes in sports that involve cutting, pivoting, and uneven surfaces are at higher risk.
