title: Treatment of recurring peroneal tendon subluxation in athletes: endoscopic repair of the retinaculum.
abstract: Traumatic peroneal tendon subluxation is a rare lesion that occurs most frequently during sporting activities and generally after an ankle sprain. There is consensus regarding the need for surgical stabilization in symptomatic patients, but there is also a general agreement that acute subluxation or dislocations may require surgery in the athlete. Many surgical techniques have been described to treat this lesion. Overall, studies have reported excellent or good results in 90% of cases, although there have been reports of significant complications following open surgical procedures. Endoscopic anatomical retinacular repair offers an attractive alternative to open repair and may reduce complications and allow early return to sports.
