The medial safe zone for treating intraneural ganglion cysts in the tarsal tunnel: a technical note

ConclusionThe safe zone for the tibial nerve in the tarsal tunnel can be exposed by mobilization and gentle retraction of the vascular bundle. In cases of intraneural ganglion cysts, all apparent connections between the nerve and degenerative joints within this safe zone can be resected without injury to important distal nerve branches.
