Observations on 200 surgical cases of tarsal tunnel syndrome.

Surgical intervention for tarsal tunnel syndrome has been reported since the mid-1960s. In 1975, the authors published their experiences using nerve conduction studies for the diagnosis and follow-up of tarsal tunnel syndrome. Since that time, the authors have operated on approximately 200 cases when conservative care failed to alleviate symptoms to a sufficient degree. In this article, a brief overview of our findings and follow-up is provided.
