Tarsal Tunnel Release Surgery in Kansas

Tarsal tunnel release is a surgical procedure aimed at relieving pressure on the tibial nerve as it passes through the tarsal tunnel, a narrow space on the inside of the ankle. This compression can lead to pain, tingling, numbness, or weakness in the foot, often diagnosed as tarsal tunnel syndrome. During the procedure, the surgeon makes an incision near the ankle and carefully releases the structures compressing the nerve, allowing it to function without obstruction. Tarsal tunnel release aims to alleviate symptoms and improve mobility and comfort in the affected foot.
