Abstract
Symptomatic hypertrophy of the peroneal tubercle can result in pain, clicking sensation, and limitation of ambulation. Surgical resection is indicated for symptomatic hypertrophied tubercle that is recalcitrant to conservative treatment. The purpose of this Technical Note is to report the details of tendoscopic resection of the hypertrophied peroneal tubercle. This is performed through zone 2 peroneus longus tendoscopy. Any associated hindfoot deformity and peroneal tendon pathology should also be addressed.
