Longitudinal split of the peroneus longus and peroneus brevis tendons with disruption of the superior peroneal retinaculum

G C Diaz et al. J Ultrasound Med. 1998 Aug.

Abstract

Longitudinal split and subluxation of the peroneus brevis tendon have been reported in surgery literature, but few publications report on longitudinal tears of the peroneus longus tendon. The most likely proposed mechanism is a mechanical one. This report discusses the ultrasonographic appearance of peroneus longus and peroneus brevis tendon splits and the mechanism of injury.
