Traumatic peroneal tendon dislocation: a case report and surgical treatment options

Traumatic peroneal tendon dislocation is a rare but significant injury that predominantly affects athletes. The condition involves the displacement of the peroneal tendons from within the superior peroneal retinaculum around the posterolateral aspect of the fibula. Various surgical options are available to stabilize the peroneal tendons and restore their normal function. We present the clinical case of a 19-year-old male who, after sustaining an eversion sprain during a soccer match, experienced acute pain and difficulty moving his ankle. The availability of different surgical techniques offers the flexibility to choose the most appropriate solution for each specific case.
