Acta Orthop Scand. 1991 Oct;62(5):491-2. doi: 10.3109/17453679108996654.

Abstract

Rupture of one or both peroneal tendons is rare. We present a case of longitudinal ruptures in both peroneus longus and brevis tendons. We obtained a very satisfactory clinical result with surgical debridement of the abnormal granulation tissue and proliferated synovial sheath.
