Abstract
Three patients in whom the first symptoms of the tarsal tunnel syndrome (TTS) emerged after an acute event proximal to but not affecting the ankle are described. These patients suggest that a pre-existing asymptomatic TTS may become manifest after a mechanism akin to that described in the "double crush" syndrome.
