“…Dockery reports 89% efficiency after a 4% alcohol injection (alcohol sclerosing solution) with a follow-up after 12 months [30]. Musson et al describe alcohol ablation under ultrasound control with 66% efficiency (pain relief) in the 14th month of the observation period [33]. In a study by Pasquali et al, 74% of over 500 patients achieved satisfactory results within a oneyear follow-up period [25].…”

Peripheral nerve entrapment of the ankle and foot is relatively uncommon and often underdiagnosed because electrophysiologic studies may not contribute to the diagnosis. Anatomy of the peripheral nerves is variable and complex, and along with a comprehensive physical examination, a thorough understanding of the applied anatomy is essential. Several studies have helped identify specific areas in which nerves are commonly compressed. Identified secondary causes of nerve compression include previous trauma, osteophytes, ganglion cysts, edema, accessory muscles, tenosynovitis, vascular lesions, and a primary nerve tumor. Imaging plays a key role in identifying primary and secondary causes of nerve entrapment, specifically ultrasound (US) and magnetic resonance imaging. US is a dynamic imaging modality that is cost effective and offers excellent resolution. Symptoms of nerve entrapment may mimic other common foot and ankle conditions such as plantar fasciitis.
