Abstract

Chronic lateral ankle instability is a prevalent condition, and it is commonly associated with other foot and ankle injuries. Among the associated injuries, peroneal tendon pathologies and anterolateral ankle impingement are frequently encountered. In this report, a case of concomitant chronic lateral ankle instability and dislocation of the peroneal tendons is described. While this combination of injuries is not uncommon, the method of treatment entailed arthroscopic repair of the anterior talofibular ligament and endoscopic repair of the superior peroneal retinaculum, procedures that eliminated the anterior drawer instability that had been present, and the patient remained symptom free after 24 months of follow-up.
