AI Article Synopsis
- Longitudinal tears of the peroneus longus tendon are less commonly reported than those of the peroneus brevis tendon in surgical literature.
- The primary suggested cause of these tears is mechanical stress or injury.
- This report focuses on how ultrasonography can show the appearance of splits in both the peroneus longus and peroneus brevis tendons and explains the injury mechanism.
Article Abstract
Longitudinal split and subluxation of the peroneus brevis tendon have been reported in surgery literature, but few publications report on longitudinal tears of the peroneus longus tendon. The most likely proposed mechanism is a mechanical one. This report discusses the ultrasonographic appearance of peroneus longus and peroneus brevis tendon splits and the mechanism of injury.
