Abstract:
Traumatic dislocation of peroneal tendons is caused by sudden dorsiflexion of the foot accompanied by a powerful contraction of peroneal muscles. This tears the peroneal retinaculum and allows the tendons to dislocate anteriorly. This injury is not uncommon, but clinically it has been given little attention. Authors experienced a case of traumatic dislocation of peroneal tendons which was treated surgically with good result.
