Abstract

Subluxation of peroneal tendons is a rare pathology usually following misdiagnosed ankle sprain with a rupture of peroneal retinaculum. If not recognised in acute injury it can lead to chronic recurrent peroneal subluxation. There are conservative or surgical treatment methods used depending on various factors. In the literature five different surgical techniques are suggested for managing the peroneal tendons luxation. In this article we present a case report with a successful surgical approach for treatment of recurrent peroneal tendons subluxation using a semitendinosus tendon graft hence augmenting the previous reconstruction of peroneal retinaculum. So far there has been one medical case described in the literature using the semitendinosus tendon graft as a surgical management of that type of pathologies. It seems an interesting surgical approach that requires further research and studies with a larger population of patient to determine the effectiveness in comparison with other suggested methods.
