It remains a rare affectation, dominantly of traumatic causes, mostly by passed in emergency situation. Also in its rarity, it remains remarkable for its diagnostic interest but also for its management which remains only surgical. This case concerned an adult of 24 years old, victim of closed trauma of the right ankle, the ankle was forced in varus and supine position. Ths initial diagnosis was a benign sprain which was later rectified 14 days after for a diagnosis of peroneal tendons dislocation. During the operation, a rupture of the retinaculum like type II of Eckert and Davis was noticed. A simple suture technique using Exner method give a good result 14 months later. The authors insist after this case indifferential diagnosis with sprain and recommended a surgical repair in recent lesions.
