The superior peroneal retinaculum stabilizes peroneal tendons, preventing dislocation. Anatomical variations in its insertion patterns were detailed, offering new insights into lateral ankle stability.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Anatomy
  • Sports Medicine

Background:

  • The superior peroneal retinaculum is crucial for peroneal tendon stability.
  • Existing anatomical descriptions of the retinaculum are inconsistent.
  • Understanding its variations is key for managing lateral ankle injuries.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To detail the insertion patterns of the superior peroneal retinaculum.
  • To clarify the relationship between the retinaculum, peroneal tendons, and lateral ankle ligaments.
  • To provide a comprehensive anatomical description for clinical relevance.

Main Methods:

  • Anatomical dissection of cadaveric specimens.
  • Detailed description of retinacular insertions.
  • Correlation with peroneal tendon position and adjacent ligaments.

Main Results:

  • Identified and classified distinct patterns of superior peroneal retinaculum insertion.
  • Documented the retinaculum's precise anatomical relationship with the peroneal tendons.
  • Observed variations in retinacular attachments to the distal fibula and lateral ankle ligaments.

Conclusions:

  • The superior peroneal retinaculum exhibits significant anatomical variability.
  • These variations may influence the risk of peroneal tendon subluxation/dislocation.
  • A detailed anatomical understanding is essential for accurate diagnosis and treatment of lateral ankle pathology.
