Peroneus Brevis Split Tear with Surgical Repair and Removal of Torn Tendon Portion. (below)

Partial Tear Peroneus Brevis Tendon. (below)

Removal of Torn portion and debulking of tendon. (below)

Final Placement of Peroneal Tendons back in the fibular groove and suture replacement for repair of Superior Peroneal Retinaculum and Tendon Sheath. (below)

Below, Peroneal Tear with Low lying muscle belly. The muscle belly is removed and bulked to allow gliding and reduce congestion.

The muscle belly is seen at the right and closure of the sheath on the left and bottom pics.

Below, dislocated peroneal tendons are being repaired and reduced to the anatomic location.

The tendons are dislocated to the outside of the fibula instead of behind.

These are intraoperative pics of a woman who traumatically dislocated her peroneal tendons in a fall.

These are pics of the peroneus longus dislocated over the fibula. The instrument on the bottom is pointing towards the tendon. The instrument on the top left is showing where the tendon should be.

This is a pic of us relocating the tendons.

The following pic is of us debriding the side of the fibula to allow the ligament and tissue to connect to the fibula during healing so the tendons do not dislocate.

This is a pic of the suture passing through the fibula to attach the retinaculum and tissue so the peroneal tendons do not dislocate or sublux.

This is a final pic of the repair

Pics of repair of peroneal retinaculum for dislocating peroneal tendons

The sutures can be seen prior to repair

The retinaculum is repaired through drill holes in the fibula and the sutures are woven through the bone

Pic after complete repair

Bulbous thickening of peroneus brevis with split thickness tear

The bulbous portion is removed and the remainder of the tendon is repaired back onto itself.

Below, Bulbous thickening of the Peroneal tendon

Bulbous thickening of the tendon noted

The tear inside the bulbous thickening is resected and the tendon is repaired onto itself

Visualization of the tear

The portion diseased tendon removed

After the removal of tissue, the tendon sits nicely behind the groove and the area is debulked

Pic of Split tear of the Peroneus Brevis and section that was removed. This is caused by the Peroneus longus constantly pushing the Brevis into the back of the fibula. It can be due to repeated microtrauma or one isolated traumatic event, i.e. ankle sprain or fracture).

Pic of Split tear of the Peroneus Brevis and section that was removed. This is caused by the Peroneus longus constantly pushing the Brevis into the back of the fibula. There was also a low lying muscle belly of the Brevis that was removed with the damaged tendon. This can be seen at the left side of the removed tendon. The tear can be due to repeated microtrauma or one isolated traumatic event, i.e. ankle sprain or fracture).
