Medial plantar neuropathy

Neurology. 1987 Aug;37(8):1408-10. doi: 10.1212/wnl.37.8.1408.

Abstract

We have described four cases of medial plantar neuropathy that was confirmed by the near-nerve sensory nerve conduction study. The common compression site in medial plantar neuropathy is at the entrance to the fibromuscular tunnel behind the navicular tuberosity, distal to the tarsal tunnel, where Tinel's sign is localized.
