Abstract des Autors

In 10 years through 1982, 21 operations were performed on 15 runners with persistent foot and ankle pain. The operative procedures involved decompression ofperipheral nerves in the foot and ankle through release of soft tissues in the tarsal tunnel and foot or removal of abnormal bony excrescences that were irritating these nerves. All 15 runners had good to excellent results and all returned to their preinjury running status, including the competitive athletes. Foot and ankle pain is best treated conservatively, but when signs and symptoms culled from a careful history and physical examination reflect a nerve entrapment syndrome, surgical intervention has its place.
