Tendoscopic treatment of recurrent peroneal tendon dislocation.

PURPOSE: To study the possibility of tendoscopic treatment of recurrent peroneal tendon dislocation.

METHODS

The case of one patient is described including the tendoscopic technique to deepen the fibular groove.

RESULTS

In this single case, there were no complications, recovery time was short, and there was no recurrence of peroneal tendon dislocation.

CONCLUSION

Though it seems possible to deepen the fibular groove tendoscopically, further studies are necessary to determine the role of tendoscopy in recurrent peroneal tendon dislocation.
