Subluxing peroneal tendons. An anatomic approach.

Chronic subluxing peroneal tendons represent an interesting presentation of pathoanatomy. An appreciation for the local anatomic considerations about the distal fibula as well as the pathologic relationships that occur during these painful syndromes is critical to understanding this condition. An anatomic approach to repair chronic subluxating peroneal tendons is presented. A literature review is included to reinforce the success of the procedure in multiple trials and in various clinical situations.
