Acute subluxation of the peroneal tendon is an uncommon injury which is predominantly associated with a trauma. Traumatic peroneal tendon subluxation in athletes is an uncommon cause of ankle pain. As a result, the diagnosis is often delayed. Numerous surgical techniques have been described for chronic peroneal subluxation or dislocation, however reports in acute cases are rare. Authors experienced two cases of acute subluxation of peroneal tendon in athletes which were treated by simple primary repair of superior peroneal retinaculum with good results.

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.
