Popis: Between 1989 and 2000, 16 patients underwent surgery for tarsal tunnel syndrome; 12 patients (13 feet) were available for follow-up at a mean of 83 (12-143) months. The symptoms had resolved in six feet, were improved in four, were unchanged in two and recurred after five years in one. Better results are obtained in patients who have space occupying lesions than in those in whom the aetiology is idiopathic or post-traumatic or those with foot deformities.
