Solution

The nerve implicated in Baxter's neuropathy of the foot is the Inferior Calcaneal Nerve, also known as Baxter's Nerve. Baxter's neuropathy is a condition characterized by heel pain often similar to plantar fasciitis. The condition is named after Dr. Donald Baxter who first described it in 1967. The inferior calcaneal nerve is a branch of the lateral plantar nerve and provides sensation to the medial heel. If this nerve becomes entrapped, it can cause pain, numbness, and other symptoms in the area it supplies. This is known as Baxter's neuropathy.
