“…Tarsal tunnel syndrome (TTS) is a compressive neuropathy of the posterior tibial nerve or its branches within the tarsal tunnel, a fibro-osseous space located deep to the flexor retinaculum and postero-inferior to the medial malleolus [28,29]. Causes of nerve entrapment include soft tissue irregularity (i.e., hypertrophic flexor retinaculum), space-occupying (i.e., osteophyte, tumor), inflammatory (i.e., rheumatoid arthritis), trauma, biomechanical, obesity, or lower leg edema [30]. Symptoms include paresthesia or hyperesthesia in the areas of the distal tibial nerve exacerbated by standing, walking, or foot eversion and dorsiflexion, which can progress to irreversible nerve injury, weakness, or muscle atrophy [30][31][32].…”

Injection Techniques for Common Chronic Pain Conditions of the Foot: A Comprehensive Review

et al. 2020

Purpose of Review: This is a comprehensive literature review of the available evidence and techniques of foot injections for chronic pain conditions. It briefly describes common foot chronic pain syndromes and then reviews available injection techniques for each of these syndromes, weighing the available evidence and comparing the available approaches. Recent Findings: Foot and ankle pain affects 20% of the population over 50 and significantly impairs mobility and ability to participate in activities of daily living (ADLs), as well as increases fall risk. It is commonly treated with costly surgery, at times with questionable efficacy. Injection therapy is challenging when the etiology is anatomical or compressive. Morton's neuroma is a budging of the interdigital nerve.

“…The documented postoperative complications of these techniques include impaired wound healing, infection, and keloid formation. Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) has also been reported as a rare sequela of surgery; however, lesions of the calcaneal branches can produce causalgia in the heel area [22].…”

Background: This study aims to analyse the clinical results of ultrasound-guided surgery for the decompression of the tibial nerve, including its distal medial and lateral branches, to treat tarsal tunnel syndrome. These structures are the complete flexor retinaculum and the deep fascia of the abductor hallucis muscle, including individualised release of the medial and lateral plantar nerve tunnels. Method: This is a retrospective review of 81 patients (36 men and 45 women) with an average age of 41 years old (32-62) and an average clinical course of 31 months (8-96) compatible with idiopathic tarsal tunnel syndrome, who underwent ultrasound-guided decompression of the proximal and distal tarsal tunnel between February 2015 and November 2017 (both months included), with a minimum follow-up of 18 months. Results: Based on the Takakura et al. scale for the 81 patients, 76.54% obtained excellent results, 13.58% good results, and 9.87% poor results. The patients with the longest course of symptoms displayed the worst results. Conclusion: Although 9% of patients did not improve, ultrasound-guided tarsal tunnel release might be a viable alternative to conventional open approaches.

Posterior Tibial Nerve Lymphoma Presenting as Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome: A Case Report

We report a case of isolated posterior tibial B-cell lymphoma of the posterior tibial nerve presenting as tarsal tunnel syndrome. This diagnosis was considered because of the clinical presentation and electrophysiologic abnormalities. It was further confirmed by the magnetic resonance imaging findings of the ankle and tissue pathologic findings. Whole body positron emission tomography confirmed this to be a localized lymphoma involving the peripheral nerve. The patient underwent chemotherapy with complete tumor resolution. She had had no relapse after 8 months of follow-up. Isolated peripheral nerve lymphomas are very rare, and involvement of the posterior tibial nerve has not been previously reported. Furthermore, the present case report highlights the importance of the clinical examination in the diagnosis of tarsal tunnel syndrome before performing surgical decompression.
