  • Title: Surgical management of a ruptured peroneus longus tendon with a fractured multipartite os peroneum.
    Author: Wander DS, Galli K, Ludden JW, Mayer DP.
    Journal: J Foot Ankle Surg; 1994; 33(2):124-8. PubMed ID: 8019531.
    Abstract:
    Injury of the peroneus longus tendon with concurrent fracture of the os peroneum is a seldom reported injury. This injury is probably underdiagnosed or misdiagnosed. The mechanism of this injury often involves sudden inversion, and therefore may often be misdiagnosed as a lateral ankle sprain or tendonitis. From the author's research review, this is the first reported case involving a fractured multipartite os peroneum with rupture of the peroneus longus tendon. The injury was diagnosed preoperatively by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as well as radiographs.
