Abstract

Peroneal tendoscopy is indicated for peroneal tenosynovitis, subluxation or dislocation, snapping, partial tears requiring debridement, and postoperative adhesions and scarring. Peroneal tendoscopy was also found to be valuable as a diagnostic tool in some instances. It is generally reported to have good to excellent outcomes in most patients with a relatively low occurrence of complications.

Keywords: Peroneal subluxation or dislocation; Peroneal tendon tear; Peroneal tendoscopy; Retrofibular pain; Tenosynovitis.
