Any of the 5 nerves supplying the foot and ankle (tibial, superficial & deep peroneal, sural, saphenous) can suffer compression neuropathy. The diagnosis is usually made clinically, supported by imaging and electrodiagnostic studies. Treatment is conservative or surgical. The known nerve entrapments about the foot and ankle are presented with a discussion of their aetiology, clinical findings and treatment options.
