title: Peroneal tenodesis with the use of tendoscopy: surgical technique and report of 1 case.
abstract: Peroneus brevis tendon injury is the most common lesion of the peroneal tendons. The initial treatment is conservative, and surgical treatment is indicated if conservative treatment fails. It is often necessary to open the entire upper and lower retinaculum to obtain adequate visualization of the structures. We present a case in which the peroneus brevis tenodesis was used with the aid of tendoscopy. This technique should be used for patients with lesions affecting more than 50% of the tendon diameter. We found that, by making small incisions, the patient recovered well, quickly, with resolution of pain.
