Surgical Release of Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome

As far as outcomes of surgical release of the tarsal tunnel, best results following surgery are in cases where a compressive anatomic structure like a ganglion cyst is identified and removed. Keep in mind that traction neuritis does not respond as well to surgery. The major complication to mention is recurrence, which is usually caused by an inadequate release. As far as the prognosis of tarsal Tunnel Syndrome, results vary between 50-90% success.
