Abstract
This study presents a series of 13 patients who underwent
peroneal tendoscopy as a solitary or accessory procedure
at our department in 2013. Patients were clinically diagnosed
with peroneal tendons disorders and underwent an
additional radiological assessment. Peroneal tendoscopy
was carried out in a standard manner before any other arthroscopic
or open procedure. Postoperative management
depended on the type of pathology. We found 3 peroneus
brevis tendon partial tears, 4 cases of a low-lying peroneus
brevis muscle belly, 5 cases of tenosynovitis, and 1 case of
an intrasheath peroneal tendon subluxation. In 5 patients
peroneal tendoscopy was performed as a solitary procedure
and in 8 patients as an accessory procedure – together
with anterior or posterior ankle arthroscopy, combined
posterior and anterior ankle arthroscopy, or open surgery.
Both as a solitary and accessory procedure, peroneal tendoscopy
was safe and successful, ie, all patients were without
any symptoms at one-year follow-up. Our series of patients
showed that peroneal tendoscopy can be used both
as an independent procedure as well as a valuable accessory
procedure.
