Distal Fibular Rotational Plasty for Chronic Peroneal Tendon Recurrent Dislocation: A Technical Report

Peroneal Tendon Dislocation

Acute peroneal tendon subluxation and dislocation are frequently misdiagnosed as ankle sprains. The most common mechanism is a dorsifl exory force on the ankle associated with a rapid and strong contraction of the peroneal tendons and with an eversion of the hindfoot. Inadequate treatment may lead to chronic dislocation. In chronic situation patients frequently complain about a painful wind gla...

Retromalleolar Groove Deepening in Recurrent Peroneal Tendon Dislocation: Technique Tip

Peroneal tendon dislocations are most prevalent in the active and athletic population, so accurate diagnosis and management are essential for optimal return of function. Although many nonoperative and surgical management options have been described, the optimal treatment method continues to be debated. In this technique article, a modified retromalleolar groove-deepening technique is described ...

Traumatic recurrent distal radioulnar joint dislocation: a case report

Isolated acute distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) dislocation is a rare injury (Garrigues and Aldridge III in J Bone Joint Surg Am 89:1594-1597, 2007]. Reports of isolated DRUJ luxations, volair or dorsal, are often case reports and rarely a series of cases [Dameron Jr in Clin Orthop Relat Res 83:55-63, 1972]. We present a case of an acute traumatic dorsal DRUJ dislocation treated with cast immobil...

A repair operation for recurrent dislocation of peroneal tendons.

A lesion similar to that described by Bankart in recurrent dislocation of the shoulder was seen in seven patients with recurrent dislocation of the peroneal tendons. Detachment of the periosteum had resulted in the formation of a false pouch on the surface of the lower end of the fibula; into this pouch the peroneal tendons could easily dislocate. Reattachment of the periosteum to drill holes i...
