Stenosing peroneal tenosynovitis.
The etiology, diagnosis and surgical treatment of stenosing tenosynovitis of the peroneal tendons is presented. The authors stress the need for thorough understanding of this clinical entity as its symptomatology can mimic several more frequently encountered podiatric pathologies. This could result in delayed or missed diagnosis and, thus, improper management.
