Summary

Peroneus brevis tendon lesions, often degenerative, commonly cause lateral ankle pain after injuries. Surgical reconstruction using grafts or direct repair significantly improved pain and function in most patients.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Sports Medicine
  • Anatomy

Background:

  • Peroneus brevis tendon injuries can result from ankle trauma.
  • Degenerative changes and lesions may occur in the peroneus brevis tendon.

Observation:

  • A study reviewed 14 peroneus brevis tendon lesions in 13 patients with chronic symptoms.
  • Lesions were located distal to the lateral malleolus, appearing degenerative.
  • Lateral pain was the predominant symptom.

Findings:

  • 11 ankles underwent lateral ankle instability reconstruction using split peroneus brevis grafts.
  • One ankle was treated with direct repair.
  • Twelve ankles showed significant improvement in pain and function post-treatment.

Implications:

  • Peroneus brevis tendon defects can be successfully managed during ankle ligament reconstruction.
  • Surgical intervention can restore function and alleviate pain in patients with these lesions.
  • Understanding tendon pathology is crucial for effective ankle injury management.
