Abstract
The superior peroneal retinaculum is thought to be the primary restraint to subluxation and/or dislocation of the peroneal tendons as they pass posterior to the distal fibula. The descriptions in anatomy texts vary widely. This anatomical study describes the different patterns of insertions for the superior peroneal retinaculum and its relationship to the peroneal tendons and the ligaments of the lateral ankle.
