Abstract:
Calcific tendinitis usually occurs in the supraspinatus tendon of the shoulder. Calcific tendinitis of the peroneus longus tendon has not been reported on the Korean journals. Differential diagnosis includes bipartitis os peroneum, os peroneum fracture and peroneal tendinitis. We report a rare case of calcific tendinitis of the peroneus longus tendon which responded well with the conservative treatment.
