  • Title: Pes cavovarus as a late consequence of peroneus longus tendon laceration.
    Author: DeLuca PA, Banta JV.
    Journal: J Pediatr Orthop; 1985; 5(5):582-3. PubMed ID: 4044818.
    Abstract:
    Peroneal weakness has been implicated as a cause of cavovarus foot in neuromuscular disease. The effect, however, of isolated peroneus longus deficiency has not been studied. We report the late development of a cavovarus foot in a child with isolated laceration of the peroneus longus tendon. The importance of this specific tendon in the maintenance of foot balance is discussed.
