Ref.: (LML) NERVE CONDUCTION STUDIES OF THE TIBIAL NERVE ACROSS THE TARSAL TUNNEL IN LEPROSY PATIENTS
From: James Wilton, Portland, USA
Dear Pieter,
Dr. Garbino's article is excellent in describing lesion levels along the tibial nerve. I have been performing tibial nerve decompression neurolysis surgery on Hansen patients for the past 14 years in Ecuador. Postoperatively we have demonstrated on electro-diagnostic testing return of sensation and return of motor power in over 50% of the patients that we operate on. We also have identified a more proximal site of compression at the Soleal Sling interproximal posterior lower leg and decompress this area routinely with these patients.
