Abstract

Tendoscopy of the peroneal tendons is a useful tool to diagnose and treat peroneal tendon disorders. Endoscopic ankle surgery is followed by a functional postoperative treatment and offers the advantages of less morbidity, reduction of postoperative pain, and outpatient surgery. The article describes the technique and results of peroneal tendoscopy performed in 23 patients between 1995 and 2000.
