This becomes a bone spur. When the bone spur grows out of one of the joints on the top of the midfoot, it's called a tarsal boss. A bone spur on the inside or outside any of the toes is usually referred to as a toe spur. Any factor that creates too much friction within the foot can lead to a tarsal boss or toe spur.
Inside the tarsal tunnel are the nerves, arteries, and tendons that provide movement and flexibility to the foot. One of the nerves in the tarsal tunnel is the tibial nerve, which provides sensation to the bottom of the foot. When this nerve is compressed, the resulting condition is called tarsal tunnel syndrome (TTS). Tarsal tunnel syndrome has also been called posterior tibial neuralgia.
