“…6 Redfern and Myerson 5 studied 28 patients with lesions in the short and long fibular tendons who underwent different procedures. Nine patients had complications; in 6 of these patients, the complications were directly related to the surgical access: superficial wound infection (3), sural neuritis (2), and wound dehiscence (1). Numerous procedures have been described using the endoscopy technique.…”

“…These lesions frequently may take time to be diagnosed because the symptoms presented are similar to those of lateral-ankle ligament injury. 1,2 The clinical condition is usually characterized by pain in the lateral region of the ankle together with swelling and loss of strength for rear-foot eversion. 3 Imaging examinations may assist in determining the diagnosis; however, ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging are very sensitive and can yield too many falsepositive results.…”

Peroneus brevis tendon injury is the most common lesion of the peroneal tendons. The initial treatment is conservative, and surgical treatment is indicated if conservative treatment fails. It is often necessary to open the entire upper and lower retinaculum to obtain adequate visualization of the structures. We present a case in which the peroneus brevis tenodesis was used with the aid of tendoscopy. This technique should be used for patients with lesions affecting more than 50% of the tendon diameter. We found that, by making small incisions, the patient recovered well, quickly, with resolution of pain.

“…1 Yet peroneal tendon injuries are clinically missed in 40% of the cases of ankle problems during the first consultation. [2][3][4] In the first examination, problems are often underrated and difficult to distinguish from each other or from the lateral ligament complex. 5,6 The role of pain mechanisms in the peroneal tendons in lateral ankle sprains has not been entirely identified.…”

Objective: The purpose of this case report is to describe the use of mobilization and eccentric exercise training for a patient with ankle pain and a history of chronic ankle sprains and discuss the course of diagnostic decision making when the patient did not respond to care. Clinical Features: A 48-year-old police officer who had sustained multiple ankle sprains throughout his life presented with pain and restriction in his ability to walk, run, and work. The Global Rating of Change Scale score was − 6, the Numeric Pain Rating Scale score was 7/10, and the Lower Extremity Functional Scale score was − 33. Palpation of the peroneus longus and brevis muscles and inversion with overpressure reproduced the chief concern (Numeric Pain Rating Scale 7/10). The patient was initially diagnosed with chronic peroneal tendinopathy. Intervention and Outcome: Treatment included lateral translation mobilization of the talocrural joint combined with eccentric exercise using an elastic band for the peroneal muscles. The patient reported improvement in pain and function during the course of intervention but not as rapidly as expected. Therefore, follow-up ultrasonographic imaging and radiography were performed. These studies revealed partial rupture of the peroneal brevis muscle and total rupture of the peroneal longus muscle. Conclusion: A patient with long-term concerns of the foot complex with a diagnosis of peroneal tendinopathy showed slight improvement with eccentric exercises combined with manual therapy of the talocrural joint. After a course of treatment but minimal response, a diagnosis of tendon rupture was confirmed with diagnostic ultrasonography. Clinicians should be aware that when injuries do not improve with care, tendon rupture should be considered.
