Abstract
Post-traumatic peroneal tendon subluxation or dislocation is most commonly due to injury to the superior peroneal retinaculum. Acute repair of the retinaculum is an option for active athletes who desire quick return of sport activity. In general, conventional open surgeries require extensive exposure of the injured superficial peroneal retinaculum and have potential risks of scar formation, sural nerve injury, limited range of movement, peroneal tendon re-subluxation, and tendon irritation. The purpose of this Technical Note is to describe the details of endoscopic superior peroneal retinaculum reconstruction. This has the advantages of minimally invasive surgery of better cosmesis, less soft tissue dissection, less postoperative pain, less peritendinous fibrosis, and less subjective tightness at peroneal tendons. The endoscopic view allows better assessment of retinaculum integrity, grading of injury, and detection of coexisting pathology.
