Purpose: To evaluate the efficiency of fibular groove deepening and superior retinacular reconstruction for peroneal tendon subluxation. Materials and Methods: Six patients who were treated by fibular groove deepening and superior retinacular reconstruction for peroneal tendon subluxation from March 2000 to August 2004 were reviewed retrospectively. Results: No recurrent subluxation of peroneal tendons had occurred. All patients were return to sports by 4 months after surgery and also gained nearly normal range of motion. Five patients were completely pain free, but one patient had mild occasional pain that limit his sports activities. Conclusion: Fibular groove deepening and superior retinacular reconstruction was believed to be a reliable procedure for peroneal tendon subluxation in spite of some minor complications.

Chronic recurrent peroneal dislocation often responds poorly to conservative treatment. Surgical treatment has been reported to be more effective than conservative treatment, and various surgical treatment methods are available: superior peroneal retinaculum repair or reattachment, peroneal groove deepening procedures, rerouting procedures, or bone block procedures. Although various treatment options have been reported, there is no consensus regarding which treatment is better. This paper proposes a distal fibular rotational plasty that can prevent recurrent peroneal dislocations and recover its function well by securing a stable peroneal tendon excursion space.
