Recurrent subluxation of the peroneal tendons is rare but can produce marked functional impairment in athletes. We describe a technique for the reconstruction of the superior peroneal retinaculum using anchors. This procedure is safe and effective in managing instability.

Endoscopic Retrofibular Groove Deepening for Management of Type A Intrasheath Peroneal Tendon Subluxation.

In intrasheath peroneal tendon subluxation, the peroneal tendons subluxate on each other within the retrofibular peroneal tendon sheath. Two subtypes can be distinguished: type A, in which the tendons are normal, and type B, in which the peroneus brevis tendon has an associated longitudinal split and the peroneus longus tendon subluxates through this tendon split. The purpose of this technical note is to describe the details of endoscopic retrofibular groove deepening for management of type A intrasheath peroneal tendon subluxation.

Background: Isolated distal fibula fractures (DFF) are usually treated with open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) and non-weight-bearing protocols. The study assessed the outcomes of immediate weight-bearing on DFF healing and stability after lateral locking plating.
Materials And Methods: For this study, 49 patients affected by isolated DFF were enrolled.

Soft tissue reconstruction in the lower limbs presents a significant challenge, particularly when addressing defects in the distal third of the leg, ankle, and foot. The reverse sural flap reliant on the perforating branches of the peroneal artery has emerged as a versatile option, offering a solution for patients for whom microsurgical techniques are not feasible. Despite its advantages, the procedure carries inherent risks, especially in populations with underlying conditions, such as venous insufficiency, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes, as well as in elderly patients, where the likelihood of flap necrosis is elevated.

: Amyloidosis is a disorder characterized by the abnormal folding of proteins, forming insoluble fibrils that accumulate in tissues and organs. This accumulation disrupts normal tissue architecture and organ function, often with serious consequences, including death if left untreated. Light-chain amyloidosis (AL) and hereditary transthyretin-type amyloidosis (hATTR) are two of the most common types.

Isolated foot drop is a neurological sign frequently linked to lower motor neuron (LMN) lesions, including peroneal nerve damage or L4-L5 radiculopathy. Nonetheless, upper motor neuron (UMN) lesions, such as strokes or tumors located in the parasagittal motor cortex, may sometimes manifest as isolated foot drops. The main causes of isolated foot drop secondary to central etiologies are uncommon, with few instances documented in the literature.
