What is this?
The Tarsal Tunnel is like a small, protected pathway on the inside of your ankle, right near your heel. This pathway is super important because it guards special nerves, blood vessels, and tendons that help your foot move and feel things. A 'dissection' means we are carefully opening up this model to see all these amazing parts inside the tunnel.
