“…The peroneus longus tendon (PLT) has been used as an autograft for reconstruction of the patellar ligament [33], anterior cruciate ligament [8, 21, 22, 34], posterior cruciate ligament [30], ankle ligaments [3, 15], and shoulder ligaments [35]. However, the dimensions of the PLT autografts needed will vary by application.…”

PurposeThis study aimed to determine the correlation between the intraoperative diameter of double‐stranded peroneus longus tendon (2PLT) and length of the PLT autograft and preoperative ultrasound (US) measurements, as well as radiographic and anthropometric measurements. The hypothesis was that US can accurately predict the diameter of 2PLT autografts during operation. MethodsTwenty‐six patients underwent ligament reconstruction with 2PLT autografts were included. Preoperative US was used to calculate the in situ PLT cross‐sectional area (CSA) at seven levels (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10 cm proximal to the harvest start point). Femoral width, notch width, notch height, maximum patellar length, and patellar tendon length were determined on preoperative radiographs. Intraoperative measurements of PLT were made, including all fiber lengths of PLT and diameters of 2PLT using sizing tubes calibrated to 0.5 mm. ResultsCSA at 1 cm proximal to the harvest site had the highest correlation with the diameter of 2PLT (r = 0.84, P < 0.001). Calf length had the highest correlation with PLT length (r = 0.65, P < 0.001). The diameter of the 2PLT autografts could be predicted by the following formula: 4.6 + 0.2 × [sonographic CSA of PLT at 1 cm level]; the length of PLT could be predicted by the following formula: 5.6 + 0.5 × Calf length. ConclusionThe diameter of 2PLT and length of PLT autografts can be accurately predicted by preoperative US and calf length measurements, respectively. Accurate preoperative prediction of the diameter and length of autologous grafts can provide the most suitable and individualized graft for patients. Level of evidenceIV.

Introduction: Arthroscopic reconstruction of the cruciate ligament of the knee becomes routine with modern techniques and special instruments. However, the source of materials for this procedure has always been an eternal issue that affects the surgeons decision. The two peroneal tendons on the lateral side of the lower leg have the same function of plantar flexion and foot eversion. The fibularis longus tendon has been used for reconstruction such as the lateral collateral ligaments of the ankle or the Achilles tendon. Patients and methods: Descriptive cross-sectional study on twenty fresh cadavers were selected randomly for taking the fibularis longus tendon at the Department of Anatomy of the University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Ho Chi Minh City from January to July, 2022. Specimens with intact leg to lower knee segment were not crushed, well preserved and had never been used in previous studies. Results: Fibularis longus tendon length was 29,25 ± 2,1cm; the distances from fibularis longus tendon to deep fibular nerve and superficial fibular nerve was 71.1±8.63mm respectively, no split (longitudinal tear) was observed, the maximum tensile strength was 1170,4 ±203N, the maximum length of rupture 14,29 ± 3,88 mm. Conclusion: There was no split of fibularis longus tendon. Also no sign of impact on adjacent anatomy structures was found. The maximum tensile strength was equivalent to other grafts, such as the Hamstrings and patellar tendons.
