Purpose:To review the results of surgical decompression for tarsal tunnel syndrome associated with calcaneus fractures.
Material and Methods : Six tarsal tunnel syndromes in five patients were surgically decompressed at our hospital with followed up of average 26.0 months (range, 12~36 months). All patients were male and average age at surgery was 50.0 years (range, 33~69 years). All five cases developed after calcaneus fractures including one bilateral case. Clinical results were assessed according to the criteria of Pfeiffer and Cracchiolo.
Results: The result was good in three cases, fair in one case and poor in two cases. Four cases in four patients were satisfied with the result of treatment.
Conclusion:Clinical results of surgical treatment for tarsal tunnel syndrome associated with calcaneus fracture of the foot or ankle was improved and maintained in four of six cases.
