چکیده
Three patients in whom the first symptoms of the tarsal tunnel syndrome (TTS) emerged after an acute event proximal to but not affecting the ankle are described. These patients suggest that a pre-existing asymptomatic TTS may become manifest after a mechanism akin to that described in the "double crush" syndrome.

متن کاملManagement of tarsal tunnel syndrome. Report of seven cases.
Seven patients with clinical and electroneurographic evidence of tarsal tunnel syndrome were managed surgically, after failed attempts for non-surgical treatment.
