[Dislocation of the peroneal tendon--clinical aspects and therapy]

During the past 3 years, 22 patients were operated on at the Stuttgart Sports Clinic for dislocation of peroneal tendons. 5 patients were operated on after an acute injury, while 17 were treated because of a chronic dislocation. Sports trauma was the reason in 13 cases (59%). Soft tissue operations were performed 7 times, and a modification of the Kelly-operation 15 times.
