[Anatomy of the lateral malleolar sulcus - a contribution to the causation of displacement of peroneal tendons (author's transl)].

On 100 specimens of the fibula repeatable parameters were developed so as to measure the bony bed of the peroneal tendons and to evaluate the results statistically. The specimens were investigated frontally and in profile. And the sulcus was measured with a special tool. By determining height, width and slope of the walls of the groove absolute values were found which permitted differentiation between the various types of salcus.
