Peroneal Tendoscopic Debridement and Endoscopic Groove Deepening in the Prone Position.

ABSTRACT: Tendoscopy of the peroneal tendon is a promising procedure for the treatment of peroneal tendon pathology and its disorders. This procedure is minimally invasive with less physical morbidity and early functional rehabilitation. The present report demonstrates the techniques of peroneal tendoscopic debridement and endoscopic groove deepening in the prone position to treat peroneal tenosynovitis and low-lying muscle belly of peroneus brevis with a shallow and flat surface of the retro-malleolar groove. The prone position provided better ergonomics during this procedure compared with the supine position.
