    This study introduces a new surgical technique for first ray hypermobility. The peroneal tendon balance procedure aims to stabilize the first ray by strengthening the peroneus longus tendon.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Foot and Ankle Biomechanics

    Background:

    • The first ray is crucial for foot function.
    • Hypermobility of the first ray can lead to pain and instability.
    • Abnormal pronation is linked to peroneus longus tendon weakness and first ray hypermobility.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce and describe the peroneal tendon balance procedure.
    • To explain the theory behind first ray hypermobility and its relation to the peroneus longus tendon.
    • To present a surgical solution for reducing first ray hypermobility.

    Main Methods:

    • Surgical procedure involving anastomosis of the peroneus longus to the peroneus brevis tendon.
    • Focus on restoring the stabilizing function of the peroneus longus tendon.
    • Theoretical framework based on retrograde stabilization of the proximal first ray.

    Main Results:

    • The procedure is designed to enhance the force of the peroneus longus tendon.
    • Expected outcome is a reduction in first ray hypermobility.
    • Aims to correct positional weakness of the peroneus longus tendon.

    Conclusions:

    • The peroneal tendon balance procedure offers a novel approach to treating first ray hypermobility.
    • Strengthening the peroneus longus tendon is key to stabilizing the first ray.
    • This technique addresses the biomechanical link between pronation, tendon weakness, and hypermobility.
