INSIGHT

Peroneal Pathology Is A Spectrum

  • Peroneal tendon injuries span a spectrum from tenosynovitis to full tendon instability and dislocation.
  • Diagnosis combines lateral ankle pain with apprehension or subluxation on resisted dorsiflexion and eversion.
INSIGHT

Mechanism: Retinaculum Tear Causes Subluxation

  • A forced dorsiflexion of an inverted foot can tear the superior peroneal retinaculum and allow tendon subluxation.
  • Retinacular disruption lets tendons dislocate from the retromalleolar groove causing lateral instability.
ADVICE

Use Resisted Dorsiflexion To Reproduce Symptoms

  • Elicit a popping sensation and apprehension with resisted dorsiflexion and eversion to reproduce subluxation.
  • Palpate for swelling and a snapping tendon posterior to the fibula during this provocative maneuver.
