The reason for this situation is that there are many structures in the tarsal tunnel, such as tibial nerve and its branches, posterior tibial artery, posterior tibial veins and some tendons.

Description
Summary:All the information about the tarsal tunnel so far is both important and variable. The reason for this situation is that there are many structures in the tarsal tunnel, such as tibial nerve and its branches, posterior tibial artery, posterior tibial veins and some tendons. During routine dissection, we found an abnormal relationship between the tibial nerve and medial calcaneal nerve (MCN) on the right side of a male cadaver. In this case, we would show a variant condition that communicates with other branches of rr. calcanei mediales and discuss its clinical significance.
