Article Synopsis
- The study establishes reference values for the posterior tibial nerve (PTN) cross-sectional area (CSA) in South Africa to aid in diagnosing tarsal tunnel syndrome (TTS).
- Ultrasound measurements were taken from 112 participants, and results showed that age and body mass index (BMI) significantly influence PTN measurements.
- The recommended CSA reference value for normal PTN is set at 0.10 cm, applicable to all racial groups in South Africa, while suggesting that racial factors need further investigation.
