Search for: [Abstract = "Introduction The tibial nerve arises as a branch of sciatic nerves bifurcation in the popliteal fossa. It runs distally on the tibialis posterior muscle together with the posterior tibial vessels. Usually at the level of flexor retinaculum it terminally divides into lateral and medial plantar nerve. During distal course the tibial nerve emits medial calcaneal branch\(es\) which is variable in number and origin. Tibial nerve and its branches provides innervation to the posterior lower leg, foot and sole muscles and the skin of medial foot and sole. Tarsal tunnel syndrome is one of the entrapment conditions affecting the tibial nerve and its terminal branches in the medial ankle. It causes heel and sole burning pain and paresthesia. Such disorders may be examined by the ultrasound. For many years ankle arthroscopy has proved to be a useful diagnostic and therapeutic procedure for ankle and foot disorders. Although it is a minimally invasive surgery neurological complications are most frequently reported. In order to avoid iatrogenic injuries and to perform safe and reproducible arthroscopy knowledge of topographic anatomy is of vital importance. Methods In the first stage of the study the ultrasound examination was conducted on 30 volunteers \(n=60 lower limbs\). It was performed on the Mylab Gold 25 ultrasound scanner with a 18MHz linear probe by the orthopedic surgeon with more"]
