This time, I would like to talk about tarsal sinus syndrome, which medical professionals should know about.
Have you ever heard of tarsal tunnel syndrome?
If you are in a position to provide direct services to patients, you will need to know what this condition is.
Tarsal tunnel syndrome is characterized by tightening of the arteries and veins that pass through the tunnels on the inside of the foot, causing pain, numbness, and loss of muscle strength.
When does it happen?
There are no specific factors that cause it.
It has been confirmed that it can be caused by ganglions, bone spurs, and ankle sprains.
It is characterized by
Pain in the soles of the feet, strange sensations in the toes and soles of the feet, weakness in the muscles of the soles of the feet, and a burning sensation in the soles of the feet at night.
To confirm the syndrome, the Tinel sign at the tarsal tunnel and the distribution of numbness in the sole of the foot are examined.
Case in point.
As this is a case that I experienced myself, I will only explain the mechanism of occurrence and the process of healing.
I was able to confirm the syndrome as a complication of an ankle sprain in an elementary school athlete.The patient complained only of numbness and pain, and recovered after one month of treatment.
We are practicing post-treatment such as preventing the recurrence of sprain.
Conclusion
Although the name of the symptom is unfamiliar, there is a fibro-osseous tunnel in the ankle consisting of the medial capsule of the foot, the medial aspect of the calcaneus, and the flexor struts.
I have heard from clinicians that the shape of the tunnels varies from person to person, so whether or not a person suffers from this syndrome also depends on the individual.
In my experience, I have never seen a case that has developed into surgical treatment.
However, since it is a strangulation disorder, it may be considered for some lesions.
As a preventive measure, neuromuscular training such as developing reflexes in the muscles around the ankle to prevent sprains may be useful. As a preventive measure, neuromuscular training such as developing reflexes in the muscles around the ankle to prevent sprains may be useful.
