Knotless Tendoscopic Peroneal Retinaculum Repair Technique for Recurrent Peroneal Tendon Dislocation.

ABSTRACT: Peroneal tendon dislocation (PTD) is sometimes diagnosed as a sports-related injury, of which many cases lead to recurrent PTD (RPTD). Superior retinaculum repair is the major operative treatment of RPTD. The technique described herein comprises 8 steps: (1) Standard tendoscopic examination, (2) debridement of the pseudo-pouch base, (3) first anchor insertion, (4) suture relay, (5) second anchor insertion and suture relay, (6) third anchor insertion and suture relay, (7) suture tightening, and (8) suture bridge. Although this tendoscopic peroneal retinaculum repair technique is complicated, expensive, and requires a longer operation time, it incorporates a double-row suture bridge. Therefore, it has a wider contact surface between the superior retinaculum repair and fibula bone and tighter
