Abstract
This is a technical note on reconstructive surgery for the combination of chronic dislocation of the peroneal tendons and lateral instability of the ankle. The traditional surgery for this condition consists of direct repairs of the lateral ligaments of the ankle and the superior peroneal retinaculum, if possible. However, repair surgery is difficult in cases with insufficient structural remnants. We describe here a technique of simultaneous reconstruction of the anterior talofibular ligament and superior peroneal retinaculum with an autologous gracilis tendon graft for the combination of chronic dislocation of the peroneal tendons and lateral instability of the ankle.
