  • Title: Popliteal entrapment syndrome: a report of tibial nerve entrapment.
    Author: Podore PC.
    Journal: J Vasc Surg; 1985 Mar; 2(2):335-6. PubMed ID: 3974020.
    Abstract:
    A case of popliteal entrapment syndrome is reported, in which the patient experienced symptoms of tibial nerve entrapment. Exploratory surgery revealed an abnormal fibrous band between the heads of the gastrocnemius muscle that was compressing both the tibial nerve and popliteal artery. Division of this band provided immediate and lasting relief of the symptoms. This is believed to be the first report of a case of symptomatic entrapment of the tibial nerve.
