We report three patients with lateral ankle and foot pain, with the diagnosis of stenosing tenosynovitis of the peroneus longus tendon associated with a markedly enlarged peroneal tubercle. Stenosing tenosynovitis of the peroneus longus tendon associated with an atraumatically enlarged peroneal tubercle has rarely been reported, and these reported cases were associated with an os peroneum. One of our patients had no demonstrable associated os peroneum but did have a bony tunnel enveloping the peroneus longus tendon. Our other two patients had an os peroneum, but were asymptomatic at the lateral outer border of the cuboid tunnel; one patient had involvement of the peroneus longus and brevis tendons.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
