Abstract
We performed bloody therapy for a complicated tarsal tunnel syndrome case of comparatively rare congenital tarsal bone fusion symptoms, and obtained good results.
The patient was a 34-year-old firefighter complaining chiefly of numbness of the sole and pain. He underwent conservative treatment at another hospital, and the symptoms improved at one time.
However, symptoms aggravated again after skiing and operations were reguired. The operation ablated release of tarsal tunnel and adhesion department.
Spontaneous pain disappeared three days after operation and numbness one week after. He achieved full load gait, and there was rarely pain in gait.
Physical compression by ski boots is thought to aggravate symptoms.
