Abstract
Longitudinal peroneal tendon tears are uncommon. Seven cases are presented: four involving peroneus brevis and three of the peroneus longus tendons. Evaluation and treatment methods are described along with a diagnostic algorithm. All patients noted relief of symptoms with surgical treatment. Magnetic Resonance imaging proved useful in aiding diagnosis prior to surgery, revealing a hypertrophied peroneal tendon.
