Introduction: Tendoscopy in the treatment of peroneal tendon disorders is becoming an increasingly safe, reliable, and reproducible technique. Peroneal tendoscopy can be used as both an isolated procedure and as an adjacent procedure with other surgical techniques. The aim of our study was to review all peroneal tendoscopy that was undertaken at the AOC, by the senior authors (IGW, SH), and to determine the safety and efficacy of this surgical technique.

Methods: From 2000 to 2017 a manual and electronic database search was undertaken of all procedures by the senior authors. Peroneal tendoscopy cases were identified and then prospectively analysed.
Results: 51 patients (23 male, 28 female) were identified from 2004-2017 using a manual and electronic database search. The mean age at time of surgery was 41.5 years (range 16-83) with a mean follow-up time post operatively of 11.8 months (range 9-64 months). The main indications for surgery were lateral and/or postero-lateral ankle pain and lateral ankle swelling. The majority of cases showed unstable peroneal tendon tears that were debrided safely using tendoscopy. Of the 51 patients, 23 required an adjacent foot and ankle operation at the same time, 5 open and 17 arthroscopic (12 ankle, 5 subtalar). Open procedures included 2 first ray osteotomies, 2 open debridements of accessory tissue, one PL to PB transfer. One patient also had an endoscopic FHL transfer. Complication rates to date have been low: 2 superficial wound infections (4%) and one repeat tendoscopy for ongoing pain. A small proportion of patients with ongoing pain were treated with USS guided steroid injections with good results.

Conclusion: Our series of peroneal tendoscopy has a low complication rate with high patient satisfaction at discharge. Results of tendoscopic treatment are similar to open techniques, however its advantages make tendoscopic procedures an excellent method to treat peroneal tendon disorders.
