ABSTRACT
This paper explains the existence of a compression mechanism, on the medial calcaneal nerve which is the cause of pain frequently encounterd in the heel. This will replace a concept widely accepted that such pain is due to spur formation or planter fasciaitis The work has been based on the anatomical dissection of the nerve, and the response to surgical release. It also refers to the relation of the compression, to venous distension under the tunnel, which was demonstrated by undertaking pressure studies in cadavers before and after the release of the tunnel It also explains a method for the surgical release of the nerve, the aetiology, and the possible complications
