Abstract
Purpose: Lesions of the peroneal tendons are frequently overseen after ankle sprain. The symptoms consist of stress-dependent pain that extends from the inframalleolar to the proximal part along the course of the peroneal tendons as well as ankle instability and soft-tissue swelling. In case of unsuccessful conservative treatment, surgical therapy is recommended. The aim of the study was to evaluate the clinical and functional outcome after open reconstruction of the peroneus brevis tendon.
Methods: 13 patients were included in this retrospective study. All of them received a single reconstruction of the peroneus brevis tendon in open technique. Postoperative results were evaluated with the AOFAS score, a functional and perdobargraphic analysis as well as measuring postural stability with the Biodex balance system. The participants were matched with a healthy control group according to age, sex and BMI.
Results: The results of the AOFAS score showed significantly convincing results in all subscores postoperatively. A bilateral comparison of the postural stability showed that the affected side had become functionally similar to the healthy side. No statistical significant difference was detected concerning both one-legged and two-legged standing with the control group. Pedobarographic results revealed no difference between the affected and contralateral side, as well as between the patients and the healthy control group.
Conclusion: Open reconstruction of the peroneus brevis tendon leads to significant better postoperative results and can be recommended after unsuccessful conservative treatment as promising option.
期刊介绍:
International Orthopaedics, the Official Journal of the Société Internationale de Chirurgie Orthopédique et de Traumatologie (SICOT) , publishes original papers from all over the world. The articles deal with clinical orthopaedic surgery or basic research directly connected with orthopaedic surgery. International Orthopaedics will also link all the members of SICOT by means of an insert that will be concerned with SICOT matters.
Finally, it is expected that news and information regarding all aspects of orthopaedic surgery, including meetings, panels, instructional courses, etc. will be brought to the attention of the readers.
Manuscripts submitted for publication must contain a statement to the effect that all human studies have been approved by the appropriate ethics committee and have therefore been performed in accordance with the ethical standards laid down in the 1964 Declaration of Helsinki. It should also be stated clearly in the text that all persons gave their informed consent prior to their inclusion in the study. Details that might disclose the identity of the subjects under study should be omitted.
Reports of animal experiments must state that the "Principles of laboratory animal care" (NIH publication No. 85-23, revised 1985) were followed, as well as specific national laws (e.g. the current version of the German Law on the Protection of Animals) where applicable.
