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.
Editor, PodiatryNetwork.com. Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome is due to compression of a nerve called the Posterior Tibial Nerve.The nerve passes into the foot from around the inside of the ankle just below the ankle bone. Just beyond this point, the nerve enters the foot by passing between a muscle and a bone in the foot. This area is called the Tarsal Tunnel. The Posterior Tibial Nerve is the largest nerve that enters the foot. At the level of the ankle, the nerve branches out like the branches of a tree as it goes out toward the toes.
