AI Article Synopsis
- Peroneal tendon issues are frequently missed or misdiagnosed, often mistaken for chronic ankle instability.
- Assessing the health of the tendons, muscle strength, and any related deformities is crucial before surgery.
- Treatment may involve complex reconstructions, which can include multi-step procedures using silicone rods and transferring tendons.
Article Abstract
Peroneal tendon pathology is often an overlooked and underdiagnosed condition. It is often confused with chronic ankle instability. It is important when surgically managed to assess the condition of the tendons, muscle viability and strength, and associated cavovarus deformity. Complex reconstruction may be needed, including 2-stage procedures with a silicone rod and tendon transfer.

Glucagon: a potential protective factor against peripheral nerve compromise in patients with type 2 diabetes and obesity.
Diabetol Metab Syndr
January 2025
Department of Endocrinology, Affiliated Hospital 2 of Nantong University, and First People's Hospital of Nantong City, No.666 Shengli Road, Nantong, 226001, China.
Background: Increased glucagon levels are now recognized as a pathophysiological adaptation to counteract overnutrition in type 2 diabetes (T2D). This study aimed to elucidate the role of glucagon in peripheral nerve function in patients with T2D with different body mass indices (BMIs).
Methods: We consecutively enrolled 174 individuals with T2D and obesity (T2D/OB, BMI ≥ 28 kg/m), and 480 individuals with T2D and nonobesity (T2D/non-OB, BMI < 28 kg/m), all of whom underwent oral glucose tolerance tests to determine the area under the curve for glucagon (AUC).
Role of single peroneal versus single non-peroneal tibial angioplasty in limb salvage.
Int Angiol

Department of Vascular Surgery, Shebin Elkoom Teaching Hospital, Shebin Elkoom, Egypt.
Background: The peroneal artery is known to give branches to the anterior and posterior tibial arteries. Scattered reports in the literature over the last decade failed to provide solid evidence as to the optimum strategy for below-knee targeted revascularization in limited-option patients with critical limb-treating ischemia (CLTI). We sought to determine the benefit of performing single peroneal tibial artery angioplasty revascularization compared with single non-peroneal angiosome-targeted tibial artery angioplasty revascularization for patients presented with CLTI.

Diagnosing peroneus brevis split tears is a significant challenge, as many cases are missed both clinically and on imaging. Anatomical variations within the superior peroneal tunnel can contribute to peroneus brevis split tears or instability of the peroneal tendons. However, determining which anatomical variations predispose patients to these injuries remains challenging due to conflicting data in the literature.

Int Orthop
January 2025
Stanford Medicine, Stanford, CA, USA.
Purpose: Subclinical peroneal neuropathy without overt foot drop has been linked to increased fall risk in adults, yet remains under reported due to subtle symptoms and lack of awareness. Patients with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) often experience other nerve entrapments, prompting this study to evaluate CTS (a proxy for peroneal nerve entrapment) as a significant predictor of time to first fall.
Methods: Data from the Merative MarketScan Research Databases (2007-2021) were used to identify adult patients using ICD-9/10 codes.
Chimeric Free Flaps Based on End-to-Side Anastomosis for Complex Lower Extremity Reconstruction.
Ann Plast Surg
February 2025
From the Department of Hand and Foot Surgery, The Second Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University, Suzhou, China.
Background: Complex lower extremity defects are difficult to cover and often require multiple free tissue transfers. Chimeric anterolateral thigh free flaps (ALTF) and peroneal artery perforator free flaps (PAPF) have been designed specifically as an alternative for reconstruction with arterial end-to-side (ETS) anastomosis. We aimed to assess our institutional experience with this technique and to define its role in complex lower extremity reconstruction.
