  2. Tarsal tunnel syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarsal_tunnel_syndrome

    Tarsal tunnel syndrome (TTS) is a nerve compression syndrome or nerve entrapment syndrome causing a painful foot condition in which the tibial nerve is entrapped as it travels through the tarsal tunnel. [1] [2] The tarsal tunnel is found along the inner leg behind the medial malleolus (bump on the inside of the ankle). The posterior tibial ...

  3. Nerve compression syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nerve_compression_syndrome

    Nerve compression syndrome, or compression neuropathy, or nerve entrapment syndrome, is a medical condition caused by chronic, direct pressure on a peripheral nerve. [1] It is known colloquially as a trapped nerve , though this may also refer to nerve root compression (by a herniated disc , for example).

  4. Tibial nerve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tibial_nerve

    The tibial nerve is the larger terminal branch of the sciatic nerve with root values of L4, L5, S1, S2, and S3. It lies superficial (or posterior) to the popliteal vessels, extending from the superior angle to the inferior angle of the popliteal fossa, crossing the popliteal vessels from lateral to medial side.

  5. Flexor retinaculum of the foot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flexor_retinaculum_of_the_foot

    Tarsal tunnel syndrome can be caused by entrapment of the tibial nerve beneath the flexor retinaculum of the foot. [1] This is characterized by pain, numbness, and tingling of the medial plantar surface of the foot. This is made worse by standing and walking, and often worse at night. [2]

  6. Foot drop - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foot_drop

    The nerve that communicates to the muscles that lift the foot is the peroneal nerve. This nerve innervates the anterior muscles of the leg that are used during dorsiflexion of the ankle. The muscles that are used in plantar flexion are innervated by the tibial nerve and often develop tightness in the presence of foot drop. The muscles that keep ...

  7. Piriformis syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piriformis_syndrome

    Piriformis syndrome is a condition which is believed to result from nerve compression at the sciatic nerve by the piriformis muscle. [2] [5] It is a specific case of deep gluteal syndrome. [6] The largest and most bulky nerve in the human body is the sciatic nerve. Starting at its origin it is 2 cm wide and 0.5 cm thick.

  8. Popliteal artery entrapment syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Popliteal_artery...

    Sciatic nerve entrapment syndrome: The sciatic nerve becomes entrapped by muscles or other structures. [20] Vascular claudication (secondary to atherosclerosis): The obstruction of arterial flow leads to muscular ischemia and causes pain in the buttock and calf. More common in the elderly with cardiovascular risk factors. [21]

  9. Morton's neuroma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morton's_neuroma

    Morton's neuroma is a benign neuroma of an intermetatarsal plantar nerve, most commonly of the second and third intermetatarsal spaces (between the second/third and third/fourth metatarsal heads; the first is of the big toe), which results in the entrapment of the affected nerve.
