Baxter's Nerve Release Part 2 with Audio Voice Over

This surgery is a Baxter's nerve release with plantarfasciectomy for chronic heel pain. This patient did not respond to several months of conservative care and decided to undergo surgery for the affected area. The surgery has about 85% success rates according to original studies. Diagnosis of Baxter's nerve entrapment is based on clinical findings, diagnostic injections and MRI findings. Post-operative course is full weight-bearing in a cast boot for 5 to 6 weeks. Fully recovery is about 12 weeks.

Can this cause my bilateral heel pain? Thanks doc!

@Martinnunez1987 Yes it can be bilateral, but it is much more common as a unilateral condition. MRI and diagnostic injections are the way to pin down an accurate diagnosis. Best wishes.

This patient has done very well. I am actually lecturing on this at our APMA National Meeting in Boston in July. Best wishes.

Thank you doc! I have an appointment with a neurologist. To confirm if there is any nerve bothering

[Martinnunez1987]

Doc my nerve conduction said: this is an abnormal nerve conduction because of mild delay along the motor fibers of the left tibial nerve and because of the delay of the distal latency for both tibial nerves, which are highly suggestive of a bilateral posterior tarsal tunnel syndrome.

It's been 1 year how is our patient faring?
