Reconstruction of superior peroneal retinaculum by using a portion of Achilles’ s tendon and suture anchors in treatment of chronic peroneal tendon dislocation / 局解手术学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the clinical outcome of reconstruction of the superior peroneal retinaculum (SPR) by using a portion of Achilles’s tendon and suture anchors in the treatment of chronic peroneal tendon dislocation .Methods Seven patients in our hospital from January 2010 to January 2015 who underwent surgical reconstruction of SPR by using a portion of Achilles ’ s tendon and suture anchors were evaluated .The ankle ’ s range of motion ( ROM) and The American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society ( AOFAS) ankle-hindfoot score were used to evaluate the clinical outcome .Results All 7 cases were followed up for 6 to 24 months,the average time was 14 months,with-out recurrence.The ankle’s ROM improved from (23.6 ±1.9) °preoperative to (30.0 ±1.5) °at the final follow-up,and the AOFAS An-kle Hindfoot Scale improved from (60.6 ±3.6) point preoperative to (93.6 ±3.9) point at the final follow-up.Conclusion Surgical re-construction of SPR by using a portion of Achilles ’ s tendon and suture anchors may be an effective alternative surgical method for chronic peroneal tendon dislocation .
