A simplified technique for repair of recurrent peroneal tendon subluxation.
Peroneal tendon subluxation or dislocation denotes intermittent or chronic anterior displacement of the peroneus longus and brevis tendons out of their fibro-osseous tunnel at the distal and posterior aspect of the fibula. Numerous surgical techniques have been described to address peroneal tendon subluxation, including isolated or combined soft tissue and osseous reconstructive procedures. The authors present an efficient and simplified approach for addressing this pathology using multiple, nonabsorbable retention sutures without the need for extensive dissection or osteotomy.
