The treatment of recurrent dislocation of the peroneal tendons

Abstract

Ten cases of post-traumatic recurrent dislocation of the peroneal tendons were operated on between 1974 and 1982. In all cases the disturbed superior peroneal retinaculum was reconstructed by transposition of the calcaneofibular ligament to the lateral side of the peroneal tendons. The calcaneal insertion of the calcaneofibular ligament was mobilised with a small bone block and reinserted in its bed after the transposition. After an average follow-up of four years all the results were satisfactory.
