Abstract:
Soleal sling syndrome (SSS) is an underrecognized cause of tibial nerve (TN) entrapment at the popliteal fossa, resulting in exertional calf pain, paresthesia and functional impairment. Five patients (seven limbs) underwent decompression with autologous fat grafting. Clinical improvement occurred without graft-related complications, supporting evaluation of fat grafting as an adjunctive treatment.
