Tarsal tunnel syndrome (TTS) is caused by compression of the posterior tibial nerve as it travels through the tarsal tunnel. Compression of the posterior tibial nerve can cause pain, tingling or numbness in the foot.

Tarsal tunnel syndrome is an unusual form of peripheral neuropathy. It occurs when there is damage to the tibial nerve. The area in the foot where the nerve enters the back of the ankle is called the tarsal tunnel. This tunnel is normally narrow.
Tarsal tunnel syndrome is caused by anything that produces compression on the posterior tibial nerve, such as: A person with flat feet is at risk for developing tarsal tunnel syndrome, because the outward tilting of the heel that occurs with “fallen” arches can produce strain and compression on the nerve.
The tarsal tunnel includes multiple important structures. It contains the tendons of the posterior tibialis, flexor digitorum longus (FDL), and flexor hallucis longus (FHL) muscles. The posterior tibial artery and vein, as well as posterior tibial nerve (L4-S3), also pass through it.

Tarsal tunnel release is surgery to relieve pain and numbness from tarsal tunnel syndrome. The tarsal tunnel is between the bump on the inside of your ankle and ligaments stretched across your foot. Surgery takes pressure off a nerve in the tarsal tunnel.
During a Tinel's sign test, a doctor will tap or apply pressure to the tibial nerve. If this causes a tingling or a “pins and needles” sensation in the foot or toes, it is considered positive and is indicative of tarsal tunnel syndrome.
TTS pain is more often described as burning or tingling and is felt with palpation just below the ankle bone. Commonly a tingling sensation extends to the heel, toes, or arch. Plantar fasciitis pain is located more along the bottom of the foot, primarily near the heel.
Tarsal tunnel syndrome is often confused with Morton's neuroma. Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome is characterized by the entrapment of tibial nerve during its passage from the tarsal tunnel.
Sinus tarsi syndrome. Sinus tarsi syndrome (ankle condition) Tarsal tunnel syndrome (ankle condition) Clinical Information. A syndrome resulting from the entrapment and compression of the tibial nerve. Signs and symptoms include burning sensation, tingling, and pain in the foot sole. Entrapment of the distal branches of ...
Entrapment of the distal branches of the posterior tibial nerve (which divides into the medial plantar, lateral plantar, and calcanial nerves) in the tarsal tunnel, which lies posterior to the internal malleolus and beneath the retinaculum of the flexor muscles of the foot.
G57.52 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of tarsal tunnel syndrome, left lower limb. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.
Tarsal tunnel syndrome (TTS), also known as posterior tibial neuralgia, is a compression neuropathy and painful foot condition in which the tibial nerve is compressed as it travels through the tarsal tunnel. This tunnel is found along the inner leg behind the medial malleolus (bump on the inside of the ankle).
The posterior tibial artery, tibial nerve, and tendons of the tibialis posterior, flexor digitorum longus, and flexor hallucis longus muscles travel in a bundle through the tarsal tunnel. Inside the tunnel, the nerve splits into three different segments. One nerve (calcaneal) continues to the heel, the other two (medial and lateral plantar nerves) ...
One nerve (calcaneal) continues to the heel, the other two (medial and lateral plantar nerves) continue on to the bottom of the foot. The tarsal tunnel is delineated by bone on the inside and the flexor retinaculum on the outside. The mucous sheaths of the tendons around the ankle. Medial aspect.
