Le canal tarsien est un tunnel ostéofibreux formé par la rencontre du tibia distal, du talus et du rétinaculum des fléchisseurs. Cet espace renferme le paquet vasculo-nerveux rétrotibial, et, à l'instar du tunnel carpien(au membre supérieur), est fort important au point de vue clinique. Par définition, le canal tarsien est situé en postérieur de la malléole interne, et non pas en inférieur de celle-ci.
