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.

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.
