Posterior Tibial Nerve PRF for Painful Calcaneal Fracture

The posterior tibial nerve (PTN) was identified with a 5-12 MHz linear ultrasonography (US) probe at the level of the medial malleolus, where it runs posterior to the posterior tibial artery. Using the in-plane technique, a 22-gauge, 10-cm radiofrequency cannula was inserted under US guidance and advanced until the tip was adjacent to the nerve. Pulse radiofrequency was applied at 42°C for 240 s with a pulse width of 20 ms.
