Intraoperative peroneus brevis tendon rupture: a technique to salvage the graft during ankle ligament reconstruction.
The peroneus brevis tendon is frequently used in lateral ankle ligament reconstruction for chronic instability. Intraoperative tendon rupture at the exit of the interosseous transfibular tunnel occurred in two cases. A technique is described to salvage this situation. At 2-year follow-up, both cases had successful restoration of ankle joint stability.
