Abstract
Subluxation of the peroneal tendons is a relatively uncommon problem, and is often complicated by a delay in diagnosis. The authors present a brief review of the anatomy contributing to this pathologic problem, as well as the classification and treatment options of peroneal tendon subluxation. The authors then present their favored operative technique for the treatment of this problem, involving a distal fibular rotational osteotomy to prevent recurrent peroneal tendon subluxation.
Résumé
La subluxation des tendons fibulaires est une pathologie relativement peu fréquente, et souvent compliquée par un diagnostic tardif.
Après une description succincte des facteurs anatomiques contribuant à cette pathologie, nous présenterons la classification ainsi que les options thérapeutiques de la subluxation du tendon fibulaire. Nous décrirons ensuite notre technique opératoire de prédilection pour le traitement de cette pathologie, impliquant une ostéotomie de rotation de l’extrémité distale de la fibula, et qui permet d’empêcher tout récidive de subluxation du tendon fibulaire.
