Abstract: Adult acquired flatfoot is defined as a progressive deformity of the foot typically presents with flattening of the medial longitudinal arch leading to insufficiency of the medial ankle and hindfoot structures commonly associated with posterior tibial tendon dysfunction. Due to the complexity of the anatomical structures involved in the adult acquired flatfoot is necessary to classify the different variants or stages of this deformity. Johnson and Strom [1] described 3 stages of posterior tibial tendon dysfunction and Myerson [2] adding an additional stage IV. Stage II has been subclassified in a, b, and c substages according the forefoot supination, forefoot abduction, and medial column instability [3] (Table 1).
