Abstract
Peroneal tendon pathology is not uncommonly encountered behind the lateral malleolus and presented as retrofibular pain. The three primary categories of peroneal tendon disorders include tendinitis and tenosynovitis, tendon subluxation and dislocation, and tendon tears and ruptures. We described an approach of endoscopic groove deepening and endoscopic assisted repair of longitudinal peroneal tendon tears in management of recalcitrant retrofibular pain without peroneal tendon subluxation or dislocation.
