Surgical repair of recurrent peroneal tendon dislocation effectively resolves symptoms in most patients. Constitutional weakness, rather than trauma, is often the underlying cause, with surgery achieving an 80% success rate.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Sports Medicine
  • Biomechanics

Background:

  • Recurrent dislocation of the peroneal tendon is a debilitating condition.
  • Identifying the cause, whether traumatic or constitutional, is crucial for effective treatment.
  • Previous studies have explored various surgical interventions with differing outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the long-term efficacy of surgical treatment for recurrent peroneal tendon dislocation.
  • To investigate the role of constitutional weakness versus trauma in the etiology of this condition.
  • To analyze the outcomes of different surgical techniques employed.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective review of 54 patients treated for recurrent peroneal tendon dislocation between 1945 and 1985.

  • Surgical intervention was performed in 30 cases using five distinct surgical techniques.
  • Patient history, including the cause of dislocation, was recorded. Follow-up duration averaged 13.2 years.

    • Main Results:

    • Of the 30 surgically treated patients, 80% achieved complete symptom resolution.
    • Only one patient experienced a recurrence of dislocation post-surgery.
    • Constitutional weakness was identified as the primary cause in 31 patients, negating a traumatic etiology.

    Conclusions:

    • Surgical management offers a high success rate for recurrent peroneal tendon dislocation.
    • Constitutional weakness is a significant etiological factor in this condition.
    • The described surgical techniques provide durable, long-term relief for affected individuals.
