Unusual entrapment symptomatology treated in 115 cases by neurolysis of the common fibular nerve at the fibular head combined with neurolysis of the posterior tibial nerve at the tarsal tunnel.

Entrapment of the common fibular nerve (CFN) at the head of the fibula and entrapment of the posterior tibial nerve (PTN) at the tarsal tunnel are the most common nerve entrapment syndromes in the lower limb. Our aim was to study the results of combined neurolysis of the CFN and PTN for chronic lower limb pain. We hypothesized that combined neurolysis allowed a reduction of this chronic pain.
