Abstract
Purpose
To study the possibility of tendoscopic treatment of recurrent peroneal tendon dislocation.
Methods
The case of one patient is described including the tendoscopic technique to deepen the fibular groove.
Results
In this single case, there were no complications, recovery time was short, and there was no recurrence of peroneal tendon dislocation.
Conclusion
Though it seems possible to deepen the fibular groove tendoscopically, further studies are necessary to determine the role of tendoscopy in recurrent peroneal tendon dislocation.
Level of evidence
IV.
