Tendoscopic management of peroneal tendon disorders.
Endoscopic procedures at the hind foot have become more and more popular over the last few years. However, endoscopy of the peroneal tendon sheath is still not commonly done. We present our experience of scoping the peroneal tendon sheath to help establish more precise diagnosis of the pathology of the peroneal tendons and its associated structures and to treat it in a less invasive way.
