The goals of this review are to develop a current understanding of the regional anatomy, as well as diagnostic evaluation and current treatment options of the peroneal tendon disorders, and to present nowadays preferred surgical techniques for operative management of peroneal tendon disorders. More specific details related to peroneal tendon luxation, intrasheath subluxation of peroneal tendons, peroneal trendinopathy, peroneal tendon tears and painful os peroneum syndrome are reported in this review article.
