Traumatic dislocation of the peroneal tendon is an infrequent injury. This injury is caused by forceful dorsiflexion of the foot accompanied by a powerful contraction of the peroneal muscles. This mechanism of injury tears the superior peroneal retinaculum and allows the tendons to snap anteriorly. We experienced a case of chronic recurrent dislocation of the peroneal tendon, which was treated by bone block surgery using autograft of lateral fibula and reattachment of the superior peroneal retinaculum. The clinical result was satisfactory.

We report a rare case of painful Os peroneum syndrome (POPS) of 54 year-old man who had suffered from chronic pain on lateral foot after varus ankle injury and been treated successfully with surgical excision of the fractured Os peroneum and repair of ruptured peroneus longus tendon at a same time.

Acute subluxation of the peroneal tendon is an uncommon injury which is predominantly associated with a trauma. Traumatic peroneal tendon subluxation in athletes is an uncommon cause of ankle pain. As a result, the diagnosis is often delayed. Numerous surgical techniques have been described for chronic peroneal subluxation or dislocation, however reports in acute cases are rare. Authors experienced two cases of acute subluxation of peroneal tendon in athletes which were treated by simple primary repair of superior peroneal retinaculum with good results.

Traumatic dislocation of the peroneal tendon is a rare injury. It should be distinguished from other conditions that can cause pain and disability of lateral aspect of the ankle joint. We experienced a case of chronic recurrent dislocation of the peroneal tendon, which was treated by deepening of the peroneal groove of the lateral malleolus and reattachment of the superior peroneal retinaculum. The clinical result was satisfactory.

Calcific tendinitis usually occurs in the supraspinatus tendon of the shoulder. Calcific tendinitis of the peroneus longus tendon has not been reported on the Korean journals. Differential diagnosis includes bipartitis os peroneum, os peroneum fracture and peroneal tendinitis. We report a rare case of calcific tendinitis of the peroneus longus tendon which responded well with the conservative treatment.

Fracture of os peroneum can occur, but the fracture fragments are seldom displaced. Complete rupture of peroneus longus through the fracture of the os peroneum causing displacement of the fracture fragments is not well reported in the literature. Differential diagnosis with bipartite os peroneum or calcific tendinitis is important because misdiagnosis of the tendon rupture can lead to serious sequela including chronic pain, ankle instability, and peroneal compartment syndrome. We report a case of complete rupture of peroneus longus associated with fracture of the os peroneum with a review of the literature.

A peroneal dislocation is a rare disease that is often misdiagnosed as a simple sprain and can be treated inadequately in the acute phase. For this reason, it is important to have an appropriate diagnosis in the early stages because it can progress to chronic and recurrent conditions. Surgical treatment is considered mainly when progressing to chronic recurrent dislocation. Recently, patients with an acute peroneal dislocation tend to prefer surgical treatment, so accurate initial diagnosis and management are very important. This paper reports a case of chronic recurrent peroneal tendon dislocation in both ankle joints, which was treated by a superior peroneal retinaculum reconstruction and a groove deepening procedure.

Traumatic dislocation of the peroneus longus tendon is an often unrecognized injury which has been reported to occur most commonly during sports activity. Most acute cases with early detection can be treated by simple repair of the tendon or retinaculum using one of several procedures available. Accurate treatment through a comprehensive evaluation of the ankle injury prevents suboptimal and sometimes unrecorrectable outcomes. The authors experienced concomitantly the peroneus longus tendon dislocation associated with a trimalleolar fracture of the ankle. We report this case a brief review of the literature.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to report four operative cases of recurrent peroneal tendon dislocation being effectively treated by superior peroneal retinaculum reconstructive operation and rerouting of calcaneofibular ligament. Materials and Methods: Four male adults with recurrent peroneal tendon dislocation including one of patient with redislocation after the treatment of plication of inferior peroneal retinaculum were followed up after being treated with superior peroneal retinaculum reconstructive operation using Achilles tendon and rerouting of calcaneofibular ligament. Results: All patients followed up for over one year revealed no pain and no redislocation. One patient who experienced redislocation after the treatment of plication of inferior peroneal retinaculum had no other complication after the treatment of superior peroneal retinaculum reconstructive operation using Achilles tendon. Conclusion: The reconstructive operation presumed to be effective for recurrent peroneal tendon dislocation.

Peroneal tendon dislocation in association with calcaneal fracture is not common and difficult to diagnose and is often overlooked. It can result in peroneal tendon tear and tenosynovitis which in turn lead to ankle pain and dysfunction. Early detection with through physical examination and CT scan is important to reduce the subsequent tendon dysfunction. We experienced 6 cases of peroneal tendon dislocation associated with calcaneal fracture, and treated 3 of them at the time of fracture operation and treated the other 3 after calcaneal fracture surgery due to sustained pain. We report the results with a review of the literature.
