Given this low reliability, many surgeons prefer to make a diagnosis solely from a physical examination, despite reported electrodiagnostic findings. Thus, to understand the clinical ramifications between these 2 methods of diagnosis, this investigation compared the postoperative outcomes following a tarsal tunnel release between patients with positive and negative preoperative electrodiagnosis (EDx).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study retrospectively reviewed 53 consecutive patients who underwent tarsal tunnel release by a single surgeon between 2015 and 2022. The primary outcome was pain level using visual analog scale (VAS) whereas the secondary outcomes were 36-Item Short Form Health Survey questionnaire, Foot and Ankle Ability Measure, recovery times (time to return to activities of daily living, work, and sports), and complications. Pre- and postoperative functional outcomes were compared within each EDx group using a paired sample t test. Postoperative outcomes between groups were compared using a generalized linear model adjusted for potential confounders.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Both EDx groups (positive studies\u2009=\u200931 patients and negative studies\u2009=\u200922 patients) demonstrated significant improvement of all functional outcomes ( P\u2009&lt;\u2009.001). We found no significant difference in recovery time or postoperative outcomes between the 2 groups ( P\u2009&gt;\u2009.05). Multivariable analysis showed diabetes (risk ratio [RR]\u2009=\u20091.79, 95% CI 1.11-2.90) and longer duration of symptoms before surgery (RR\u2009=\u20091.02, 95% CI 1.00-1.04) as prognostic factors
