title: Peroneus longus tendinitis: a possible biomechanical etiology.
abstract: Tendinitis of the foot and ankle is becoming increasingly common, or at least more commonly recognized, with the recent widespread interest in running. In runners seen in our clinics we have encountered several cases of peroneus longus tendinitis. The authors present a case report and possible biomechanical etiology for peroneus longus tendinitis.
