Purpose: To review the results of surgical decompression for tarsal tunnel syndrome associated with calcaneus fractures. Materials and Methods: Six tarsal tunnel syndromes in five patients were surgically decompressed at our hospital with followed up of average 26.0 months (range, $12{\sim}36$ months). All patients were male and average age at surgery was 50.0 years (range, $33{\sim}69$years). All five cases developed after calcaneus fractures including one bilateral case. Clinical results were assessed according to the criteria of Pfeiffer and Cracchiolo. Results: The result was good in three cases, fair in one case and poor in two cases. Four cases in four patients were satisfied with the result of treatment. Conclusion: Clinical results of surgical treatment for tarsal tunnel syndrome associated with calcaneus fracture of the foot or ankle was improved and maintained in four of six cases.
