@entity1118 ( @entity1118 ) is a common clinical entity. The etiology of @entity1118 has never been completely defined and there are no clear treatment regimens in the literature. Most authors agree that nonoperative treatment is effective in most @entity1 . However, in 5%-10% of @entity1 , operative intervention is required. Outcomes for these @entity1 have been inconsistent. A series of 51 @entity1 with intractable @entity1118 who were diagnosed with an entrapment of the posterior tibial nerve and its terminal branches is presented. Descriptive statistics were obtained for the demographic data and pre and postsurgical start-up and standing @entity158 visual analog scale (VAS) scoring. Statistical testing of the VAS mean scores was performed using a paired t-test at the 0.01 level of significance. Pre- and postsurgical start-up and pre- and postsurgical standing @entity158 VAS means were significantly different from each other (t = 19.6, p = .001 and t = 19.4, p = .001, respectively). Based on subjective and objective criteria, 96% of the @entity1 experienced significant improvement and 90% reported completed resolution of heel @entity158 . The presence of @entity24185 in all 51 @entity1 strongly suggests entrapment @entity16 as the etiology of intractable @entity1118 .
