A 25-year-old female visited to our clinic complaining of numbness in the sole and all toes of her right foot. She mentioned that this symptom had developed after tightening her ski boot. Clinical examination revealed that she had sensory disturbance in the corresponding area and there was tenderness behind and inferior to the medial malleolus. A positive Tinel's sign was also present over the tarsal tunnel. Motor weakness of the foot was not present. Measurements of the conduction velocity suggested a interruption of the posterior tibial nerve at the tarsal tunnel. We diagnosed her as suffering from tarsal tunnel syndrome caused by ski boot pressure. This was based on the above findings and her history. The numbness resolved gradually and she was completely free from symptoms and signs 3 months later.
