Abstract
|
|
|
Tarsal tunnel syndrome is an entrapment neuropathy of the tibial nerve and its branches within the tarsal tunnel, which usually occurs as a result of a space-occupying lesion, trauma or foot deformity. The typical symptoms are pain and paresthesia of the foot at the dermatome of involved nerve branches, and the diagnosis can be made through careful history taking and physical examination. Treatments include conservative management and surgery. Although the reported results of surgical treatment vary, surgical decompression can yield satisfactory outcomes in cases of tarsal tunnel syndrome with a space-occupying lesion.
