Core Tip
Core tip: Traditionally, tenodesis of the peroneus longus tendon has been performed through a long lateral curved incision on the hindfoot. However, this approach is often associated with damage of the lateral soft tissues, having an incidence that ranges from 2.4% to 54%. The highlight of this study is its presentation of a less invasive approach for side-to-side tenodesis of full-thickness rupture of the peroneus longus tendon, which preserved most of the lateral soft tissue prone to wound breakdown.
