Reconstruction of the superior peroneal retinaculum using a hamstring tendon autograft and interference screw

We present a new technique for reconstruction of the superior peroneal retinaculum in chronic dislocation of the peroneal tendons. This uses an autologous hamstring graft and an interference screw providing a low profile, secure fixation in the os calcis. This aims to restore normal anatomy without...

Summary:We present a new technique for reconstruction of the superior peroneal retinaculum in chronic dislocation of the peroneal tendons. This uses an autologous hamstring graft and an interference screw providing a low profile, secure fixation in the os calcis. This aims to restore normal anatomy without significant donor site morbidity.
