Tarsal Tunnel Surgery Secondary to a Tarsal Ganglion

Abstract: Tarsal tunnel surgery complicated with ganglia or any other type of cystic mass can be a very challenging operation. Preoperative planning before any tarsal tunnel surgery involving a soft-tissue mass is imperative. Plans to reconstruct the posterior tibial nerve and/or artery should be in place. The authors will present a case study that involved tarsal tunnel syndrome with an associated ganglion in the tarsal canal. They will review what microsurgical techniques and equipment should be on hand prior to perfo… Show more

“… 1 Although the operative outcome of tarsal tunnel syndrome caused by space-occupying lesions is more favorable than those caused by other reasons, 6 recent studies show that the results are less favorable than expected. 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 The reported complications of open ganglionectomy of the tarsal tunnel include recurrence, 4 , 5 tibial nerve injury, 9 , 10 and fibrosis around the nerve. 6 Techniques of endoscopic tarsal tunnel release have been reported to minimize the surgical trauma and reduce fibrosis around the tibial nerve.…”
