We present the case of a 64-year-old female who was referred to us with an unexplained clicking and locking phenomenon of the right ankle. The magnetic resonance imaging findings suggested a longitudinal tear of the peroneus brevis tendon. During tendoscopy, not only was a Raikin type B intrasheath tendon subluxation visible, but also a peroneus quartus muscle. The peroneus brevis tear was tubularized and the peroneus quartus muscle resected, which resolved the patient's complaints.

This study aims to investigate the anatomical factors that are effective in the formation of peroneal tendon tears comparing with the control group. The patients with ankle magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) due to pain on the lateral side of the ankle were retrospectively analyzed using the clinical archive between July 2015 and January 2020. Peroneal tendon tears, peroneal tubercle type and size, presence of peroneal quartus, presence and type of retromalleolar groove, retromalleolar groove area, lateral malleolus type, presence of os peroneum, peroneus brevis-lateral malleolus distance (PBLMD), and accompanying pathologies in coronal, axial, and sagittal planes MRI were evaluated.
