title: Recurrent dislocation of the peroneal tendons. Results of rerouting the tendons under the calcaneofibular ligament.
abstract: 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.
