  • Title: Entrapment Neuropathies of the Foot and Ankle.
    Author: Ferkel E, Davis WH, Ellington JK.
    Journal: Clin Sports Med; 2015 Oct; 34(4):791-801. PubMed ID: 26409596.
    Abstract:
    Posterior tarsal tunnel syndrome is the result of compression of the posterior tibial nerve. Anterior tarsal tunnel syndrome (entrapment of the deep peroneal nerve) typically presents with pain radiating to the first dorsal web space. Distal tarsal tunnel syndrome results from entrapment of the first branch of the lateral plantar nerve and is often misdiagnosed initially as plantar fasciitis. Medial plantar nerve compression is seen most often in running athletes, typically with pain radiating to the medial arch. Morton neuroma is often seen in athletes who place their metatarsal arches repetitively in excessive hyperextension.
