Tarsal Tunnel

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The tarsal tunnel (flexor retinaculum) is found along the inner leg behind the medial malleolus. The tarsal tunnel is made up of bone on the inside and the flexor retinaculum on the outside. The tibial nerve, a major artery, veins, and tendons travel in a bundle along this pathway, through the tarsal tunnel. In the tunnel, the nerve splits into three different paths. One nerve (calcaneal) continues to the heel, the other two (medial plantar nerve and lateral plantar nerve) continue on to the bottom of the foot.
