Recurrent dislocation of the peroneal tendons. Results of rerouting the tendons under the calcaneofibular ligament.
Nine patients (11 cases) with recurrent dislocation of the peroneal tendons who were treated by surgically rerouting the tendons under the calcaneofibular ligament were reviewed. Mean follow-up time was 30.5 months. An excellent or good result was obtained in all cases. This operative technique was previously described in 1975, by Sarmiento and Wolf, in a case report.
