1St. John Hospital-Macomb Center, Mt. Clemens, MI 48045, USA.
Summary
Congenital peroneal tendon subluxation is uncommon but usually resolves without treatment. This case report details bilateral, persistent subluxation treated surgically with a modified Kelly procedure.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedics
- Sports Medicine
- Podiatry
Background:
- Congenital subluxation of the peroneal tendons is an uncommon condition.
- It typically resolves spontaneously in most cases.
- Surgical intervention is rarely required.
Observation:
- This case report presents bilateral congenital subluxation of the peroneal tendons.
- The condition in this patient did not resolve spontaneously.
- The patient experienced symptoms affecting both ankles.
Findings:
- The persistent bilateral peroneal tendon subluxation necessitated surgical treatment.
- A modification of the established Kelly procedure was employed.
- Successful surgical management was achieved.
Implications:
- This case highlights a rare presentation of congenital peroneal tendon subluxation.
- It underscores the potential need for surgical intervention in persistent cases.
- The modified Kelly procedure offers a viable treatment option for this condition.

01:16Bones of the Lower Limb: Femur and Patella
The femur is the body's longest and strongest bone spanning the thigh region. Its head articulates with the acetabulum of the hip bone to form the hip joint. A minor indentation on the medial side of the femoral head, called the fovea capitis, serves as the site of attachment for the ligament of the head of the femur. This weak ligament spans the femur and acetabulum and supports the hip joint. The narrowed region below the head is the neck of the femur. The inclination angle between the neck...
01:10Bones of the Lower Limb: Tibia and Fibula
The tibia is the main weight-bearing bone of the lower leg. It is larger than the fibula with which it is paired. The tibia is also the second longest bone in the body and is located right below the skin. The proximal end of the tibia forms the medial and the lateral condyle, which articulates with the condyles of the femur to form the knee joint. Between the articulating surfaces is the irregular elevated area known as the intercondylar eminence that serves as the inferior attachment point for...
01:10Ankle Joint
The ankle is formed by the talocrural joint (crural = leg). It consists of the articulations between the talus bone of the foot and the distal ends of the tibia and fibula of the leg. The superior aspect of the talus bone is square-shaped and has three areas of articulation. The top of the talus articulates with the inferior tibia. This is the portion of the ankle joint that carries the body weight between the leg and foot. The sides of the talus are firmly held in position by the articulations...
01:28Muscles of the Leg that Move the Foot and Toes
The human leg comprises an intricate system of muscles that facilitate the movement of feet and toes. Within this system, the muscles are categorized into the anterior, lateral, and posterior compartments, each with a unique set of muscles carrying out specific functions.
Anterior Compartment
The anterior compartment includes muscles that contribute to the dorsiflexion of the foot. This compartment houses the tibialis anterior, extensor hallucis longus, and extensor digitorum longus muscles.
