      • Lateral plantar nerve entrapment has similar symptoms to Plantar fasciitis and Tarsal tunnel syndrome. These include: Pain over the inside of the ankle and heel. Pressing in (palpating) along the inside of your foot and ankle, especially near the heel bone may reproduce symptoms. Sometimes pain radiates into the middle three toes.

    The lateral plantar nerve or the external plantar nerve (latin: nervus plantaris lateralis), it enters the sole of the foot by passing deep to the proximal insertion of the abductor hallucis muscle. It continues across the sole anteriorly and laterally, between the flexor digitorum brevis and quadratus plantaemuscles, innervating both of these musc...

    Motor

    It is a motor nerve that innervates all the intrinsic muscles from the sole with the exception of abductor hallucis, flexor digitorum brevis, the flexor hallucis brevis, and the first lumbrical muscle innervated by the medial plantar nerve.

    Sensory

    It also a sensory nerve that provides sensory information from the two anterior thirds of the lateral sole of the foot, as well as the plantar surfaces for the 5th and half of the 4th toe.

    The entrapment of the lateral plantar nerve first branch (inferior calcaneal nerve), also known as Baxter's nerve, produces pain on the inside of the ankle and heel and can mimic plantar fasciitis and tarsal tunnel syndrome. Pain tends to increase with weight-bearing after prolonged rest or when rising in the morning. The pain may initially improve...

    Baxter's neuropathy: 1. Radiating pain may be present when the nerve is palpated. 2. There is maximal tenderness at the medial border of the heel where the entrapment occurs – usually around the origin and deep to the abductor hallucis. This may create radiating and/or burning pain laterally across the plantar foot. 3. There is a positive Phalen’s ...

    Conservative treatment includes:
    Taping and/or orthotics to control overpronation.
    Stretching of the soleus and gastrocnemius muscles.
    Soft tissue therapy to the plantar fascia and foot intrinsics.
    Non-conservative treatment:
    Endoscopic decompression of the first branch of the lateral plantar nerve
  3. Symptoms of medial and lateral plantar nerve entrapment include almost constant pain, with and without weight bearing, which helps to differentiate medial and lateral plantar nerve entrapment from plantar fasciitis. The pain of plantar nerve entrapment is often chronic, intractable, and aggravated by high-impact activities such as running.

  4. Mar 6, 2024 · When the lateral plantar nerve becomes entrapped, it can lead to a variety of symptoms. Patients may experience pain, numbness, tingling, or a burning sensation in the foot.
