Touch pressure and sensory density after tarsal tunnel release in diabetic neuropathy
TLDR
There was marked, significant postoperative improvement of mean touch pressure 1-point threshold, compared with preoperative values, for medial calcaneal, medial plantar, and lateral plantar nerves in both non-diabetic and diabetic patients.About:

The epidemiology of diabetic foot problems
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used NHDS data for seven foot ulcer related conditions from 1983 to 1990 to illustrate trends in inpatient hospitalization, showing an overall increase of approximately 50% in the age standardized proportion of hospital discharges listing diabetes and lower extremity ulcers during this interval.

TL;DR: Although corticosteroid injections have a role in the management of select diagnoses, they should be used with caution.

Value of surgical decompression of compressed nerves in the lower extremity in patients with painful diabetic neuropathy: a randomized controlled trial.
Joanne F.M. Macaré van Maurik,Mireille van Hal,Ruben P A van Eijk,Moshe Kon,Edgar J G Peters +4 more
TL;DR: Surgical decompression of the nerves of the lower extremity can be added as a therapeutic option for patients with painful diabetic neuropathy who show signs of chronic nerve compression by means of a positive Tinel or other diagnostic criteria, when pain medication fails to reduce pain to an acceptable standard.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optimization of Surgical Outcome in Lower Extremity Nerve Decompression Surgery.
TL;DR: The authors’ results suggest that the beneficial effects of lower extremity nerve decompression surgery are reserved for a select group of patients, of which preoperative nerve damage, age, duration of diabetes, and body mass index are important effect modifiers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nerve decompression and neuropathy complications in diabetes: Are attitudes discordant with evidence?
TL;DR: This secondary compression thesis and operative treatment methodology may deserve reassessment in view of the potential for nerve decompression to be useful in addressing some of the more difficult, expensive, and life altering complications of diabetic neuropathy.

TL;DR: CTS may result from a circulatory disturbance rather than from deformation or compression of the nerve, and is associated with an aggravation of the symptoms of CTS.

Sensory thresholds of normal human feet.
TL;DR: Semmes-Weinstein testing is a useful tool in predicting which diabetic patients may be at risk for ulceration of the feet and subjects were found to have significantly better sensitivity, which indicates the importance of a consistent testing protocol.

Changes in fast axonal transport during experimental nerve compression at low pressures.
TL;DR: The minimal pressure for impairment of fast anterograde axonal transport was determined in rabbit vagus nerve and the causes of the axonal Transport block are discussed as well as the minimal pressure level in relation to pressures found in clinical nerve compression lesions.
