    Summary

    Tarsal tunnel syndrome, a tibial nerve compression, causes foot pain after lower extremity trauma. Treatment ranges from conservative measures for mild cases to surgical decompression for persistent symptoms or nerve damage indicated by EMG.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedics
    • Neurology
    • Podiatry

    Context:

    • Tarsal tunnel syndrome is a condition involving compression of the tibial nerve.
    • Foot pain following lower extremity trauma is a common presentation.
    • Understanding the etiology and clinical manifestations is crucial for diagnosis.

    Purpose:

    • To review the literature and surgical experience with tarsal tunnel syndrome.
    • To outline the diagnostic considerations, including electrodiagnostic testing (EMG).
    • To describe treatment options for tarsal tunnel syndrome.

    Summary:

    • This review covers 58 cases of tarsal tunnel syndrome.
    • Conservative therapy is recommended for mild cases without EMG abnormalities.
    • Surgical intervention, including perineural decompression, is indicated for refractory cases or those with EMG evidence of nerve damage.

    Impact:

    • Provides a comprehensive overview of tarsal tunnel syndrome management.
    • Highlights the importance of EMG in guiding treatment decisions.
    • Offers insights into surgical outcomes and indications for operative procedures.
