Tunnel Syndrome

This chapter covers soft-tissue disorders, a common occurrence in rheumatology. There is a brief overview of 10 of the most common soft-tissue disorders of the foot in rheumatology, including Achilles tendinopathy, ankle sprains, retrocalcaneal bursitis, tarsal tunnel syndrome, peroneal tendinopathy, tibialis posterior tendinopathy, plantar heel pain, and more. For each disorder, presentation, signs, and management are discussed.

Results Of Surgery

Plantar fasciitis is a common cause of pain, particularly in runners and certain other athletic groups. This syndrome must be distinguished from certain other conditions, such as the tarsal tunnel syndrome and achillodynia. Conservative therapy including rest, orthotics, heel cups, anti-inflammatory agents, and icing reduce symptoms in most patients. A few athletes may need surgery to continue running. The authors released the plantar fascia and excised areas of mucinoid degeneration in 15 athletes. Fourteen returned to full athletic activity.

Tunnel Syndrome

Tarsal tunnel syndrome is relatively rare entrapment syndrome, and should be considered in patients with foot pain or numbness. It is the result of compression or entrapment of the tibial nerve or any of its three terminal branches under the flexor retinaculum. This case discusses a patient with typical manifestations of tarsal tunnel syndrome and highlights its causes, differential diagnosis and electrodiagnostic findings. It also covers the challenges in making an accurate diagnosis in view of the technical difficulties encountered with foot and sole nerve conduction studies. Tarsal tunnel syndrome is often overdiagnosed, since it may be confused with other more common causes of foot pain and numbness including plantar fasciitis, peripheral polyneuropathy, and S1 radiculopathy.

The authors present a case report of bilateral tarsal tunnel syndrome occurring in a 39-year-old, slightly overweight female with a long history of varicose veins of her legs. Symptomatology suggestive of tarsal tunnel syndrome was present over the left heel. Vein stripping was done on both legs. When the burning discomfort at the inner aspect of the left heel continued in spite of the strippings, she presented at our Foot Clinic. Surgery on the left heel revealed varicosities overlying the medial and lateral plantar nerves near their origin, and removal of these resulted in prompt relief of her complaints. Nine months later and 10 months following the venous stripping of her right leg, medial right heel pain, burning, paresthesias, and a positive Tinel sign appeared over the inner aspect of her right heel. There was prompt subsidence of these complaints when again varicosities were found and removed.
