Peroneus Brevis Allograft Reconstruction: Clinical Outcomes and Complications.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Clinical data are limited for allograft reconstruction of peroneus brevis tears, and its complication profile remains poorly defined.

Methods

Retrospective chart review was conducted for patients with peroneus brevis tears who underwent tendon reconstruction with semitendinosus allograft at a single tertiary center between March 2010 and July 2019. A total of 68 patients (69 feet), 24 men and 44 women, were identified with mean age at surgery 51.8 (range, 23-74) years and mean follow-up 20.2 (range, 3.4-71.4) months. At the time of chart review, patients were contacted by phone to assess satisfaction, brace use, and work status.

Results

Visual analog scale (VAS) pain score was significantly lower postoperatively (4.0 ± 2.7 vs 2.4 ± 2.8, P = .0018) in
