Frees a nerve that is being squeezed as it passes through a tight tunnel on the inner side of the ankle. Through an incision behind the ankle bone the surgeon divides the tight band forming the roof of the tunnel, giving the nerve room so the burning, tingling and numbness in the sole of the foot can settle. It is done when splints, injections and footwear changes have not helped.
