Introduction: Since William Clancy (1979) and Richard Ferkel (1997) publications, the technique of peroneal groove deepening in patients with chronic dislocation, has been used with very satisfactory results and few complications. The aim of the present study is to describe a new minimally invasive technique of peroneal groove deepening with burs and specific percutaneous surgery instrumentation and without fibula osteotomy; and to evaluate the clinical and imaging results, in 5 patients operated with this technique.
Material And Methods: A retrospective study of 5 patients with clinical and imaging diagnosis of chronic dislocation of peroneal tendons. They were treated with minimally invasive technique. This technique was described in this paper. Results were evaluated by preoperative and postoperative AOFAS score and by images (dynamic ultrasound, TAC and RMN).
Results: None of the treated patients presented dislocation recurrence or pain at the time of evaluation. The AOFAS score improved an average of 25.5 points and was statistically significant (p value 0.001). In the images we observed a concavity of the groove in all the evaluated cases.
Conclusions: This minimally invasive technique of deepening the groove of the peroneal tendons is reproducible, has reduced operating times compared to open surgery and has excellent results. This is a noninvasive treatment alternative for dislocation of peroneal tendons.

Peroneal tendon pathology is common among physically active individuals, with tenosynovitis, tendon subluxation, split tears and rupture. However, diagnosing these conditions, particularly peroneus brevis split tears, is clinically and radiologically challenging. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and ultrasound (US) can sometimes miss split tears.

Slimmer's paralysis is a peripheral mononeuropathy of the common peroneal (fibular) nerve (CPN/CFN), typically associated with rapid weight loss resulting in loss of subcutaneous fat pad and subsequent neural compression at the fibular head. Here, we describe a young man with a 1-year history of right-sided foot drop, which developed following a rapid intentional weight loss of 11 kg over a period of 15 days. This weight loss was preceded by rapid weight gain over 2 days owing to binge eating.

Purpose: The surgical approach for midfoot injuries classically requires dual dorsal incision and identification of the neurovascular structures that are susceptible to injury during the surgery. The aim of this study was to map the topographic anatomy of the dorsum of the foot along with tarsal joints for the dorsal approach of midfoot surgery that would facilitate the surgery and minimize the risk of neurovascular injuries for surgeons who specially focus on foot and ankle injuries.
Methods: The dorsum of the foot was evaluated in 12 feet injected with latex containing a red colorant to visualize the arterial vessels.

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.
