Acute Compartment Syndrome after Non-Contact Peroneus Longus Muscle Rupture
نویسندگان
چکیده
This case demonstrates a rare variation in the pattern of injury and the presentation of acute lateral compartment syndrome of the leg. Although uncommon, lateral compartment syndrome of the leg after an ankle inversion leading to peroneus longus muscle rupture has been previously documented. This case was unusual because there was no overt ankle injury and the patient was able to continue physical activity, in spite of a significant rupture of the peroneus longus muscle that was determined later. This case highlights the necessary vigilance clinicians must maintain when assessing non-contact injuries in patients with possible compartment syndrome.

Unrecognized acute exertional compartment syndrome of the leg and treatment.
Acute-on-chronic exertional compartment syndrome is rare and may be easily missed without a high degree of awareness and clinical suspicion. We report a case of unrecognized acute-on-chronic exertional compartment syndrome in a recreational soccer player. The late sequela of this condition, foot drop, was successfully treated with transfer of the peroneus longus tendon.
متن کاملAn anatomic variant insertion of peroneus longus in a cadaver – a case report
Introduction Peroneus longus is one of the two muscles in the lateral compartment of the leg [1.] It arises from head of fibula, proximal 2/3 of lateral surface of fibula, deep surface of fascia cruris, anterior and posterior crural intermuscular septa and few fibers from lateral condyle of tibia. The tendon inserts by two slips. One is inserted on the lateral side of base of first metatarsal a...
متن کاملOperative reconstruction after transverse rupture of the tendons of both peroneus longus and brevis. Surgical reconstruction by transfer of the flexor digitorum longus tendon.
Rupture of the tendons of both peroneus longus and peroneus brevis results in considerable disability. We have performed transfer of flexor digitorum longus (FDL) to peroneus brevis in two patients with lateral instability of the hindfoot due to chronic transverse tears of both tendons for which end-to-end repair was not possible. Both patients had excellent function when reviewed after eight a...
متن کاملPlantar Rupture of Peroneus Longus Tendon Associated to Os Peroneum Fracture: A New Method of Treatment
Most peroneal tendon ruptures are the result of an inversion ankle sprain. Usually tears of the peroneal tendons are partial ruptures called longitudinal tears. Partial and complete rupture of peroneus longus tendon do occur but are far less common than injuries seen in peroneus brevis. The weakest point of peroneus longus tendon is the point where it changes direction and rounds the plantar su...
متن کاملPeroneus Longus Rupture at Its Origin Managed With Platelet Rich Plasma.
Tears of the peroneus longus muscle are unusual, and typically involve the distal insertion at the musculotendon junction. Although tears of the mid-portion of the peroneus longus muscle/tendon complex have been reported, no reports of a tear at the origin of the peroneus muscle have been published, to the authors' knowledge. Herein a case of proximal peroneus longus muscle tear and its subsequ...
