title: Peroneal tenosynovitis following ankle sprains.
abstract: Peroneal tenosynovitis has a variety of causes which include inversion injury of the ankle. It is rarely reported and frequently misdiagnosed. We report the operative findings and outcome of surgical decompression in 19 patients who clinically presented following inversion injury with features suggestive of peroneal tenosynovitis. A review of the literature of this pathology is presented.
