“…A few cases of rupture of the peroneus longus tendon secondary to repetitive inversion injury or forced eversion injury against resistance have been reported, presenting as chronic lateral ankle instability (Patterson & Cox 1999). walking or training on unaccustomed surfaces, predisposed by altered foot biomechanics, or have an acute onset as tenosynovitis if the tendons are involved in an inversion sprain of the ankle.…”

“…Anatomic and radiographic studies have identified an os peroneum in 5% to 26% of the population [3,4,19,24,27]. This accessory bone is often unilateral and radiographically has rounded edges in uninjured patients [5,6,20].…”

Background The os peroneum is a sesamoid bone in the peroneus longus tendon. Fractures of the os peroneum are rare. Some authors recommend surgery for active patients. Case Description A 41-year-old male professional tennis coach sustained a minimally displaced fracture of the os peroneum. He was treated with restricted weightbearing for 2 weeks, followed by physical therapy and gradual return to activities. He returned to tennis 8 weeks after injury. Followup 7 years after the injury showed he had full strength, full motion, and a radiographically healed os peroneum.

“…An os peroneum occurs in 5% to 26% of the population based on radiographic and anatomic studies [2,10,18,20]. It can be a useful radiographic marker in peroneus longus tendon disruption, as the ossicle is visible on plain radiographs.…”

Fracture of the os peroneus with retraction of the peroneus longus tendon can lead to weakness, instability, and progressive foot deformity. Treatment recommendations vary and include simple immobilization, repair of the fractured ossicle, excision of part or all of the fractured ossicle with repair of the tendon and tenodesis with the peroneus brevis tendon. We present two patients treated with excision of the proximal fragment and repair of the tendon to the distal fragment with relief of pain and restoration of function. The distal fragment was captured with a looped suture which allowed avoidance of a plantar exposure while still achieving an adequate repair. We also describe a technique for retinaculoplasty of the inferior peroneal retinaculum which we believe important to prevent postoperative adhesions to the tendon. Level of Evidence: Level V, expert opinion. See Guidelines for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.
