- Tendon injuries - Achilles Tendinopathy, Plantaris Tendinopathy
- Nerve entrapment - Common peroneal nerve and branches, tibial nerve, sural nerve
- Fractures (including malunion) or Stress fractures (fibula, posterior cortex of the tibia)
- Vascular abnormalities - entrapment of popliteal artery, endo-fibrosis of external iliac artery, aneurysm, arterial insufficiency, Deep vein thrombosis, Varicose veins e.g. superficial thrombosis, venous insufficiency
