  8. DeepFibularNerveEntrapment Excessiveuse of musclessuppliedbythedeepfibularnerve (e.g., duringskiing, running, anddancing) mayresult in muscleinjuryandedema in theanteriorcompartment. Compressionof thedeepfibularnerveandpain in theanteriorcompartment. Painoccurs in thedorsum of thefootandusuallyradiatestothe web spacebetweenthe 1st and 2nd toes.

  19. PlantarFasciitis Occursin individualswho do a greatdeal of standingorwalking, painandtenderness of the sole of thefoot. Believedto be causedbyrepeatedminortrauma. Repeatedattacks of thisconditioninduceossification in theposteriorattachment of theaponeurosis, forming a calcanealspur.
