Deep dives
Understanding Peroneal Tendon Instability
Peroneal tendon instability often presents as a snapping sensation around the lateral malleolus during resisted eversion, typically indicating a rupture of the superior peroneal retinaculum. Treatment options include surgical reconstruction of the retinaculum and addressing any tendon injuries through debridement or groove deepening around the posterior fibula. These interventions aim to provide adequate space for the tendons to function without lateral subluxation. Proper evaluation and surgical techniques are crucial for effective management of this condition.
