The authors determined that CT findings can be somewhat predictive of peroneal dislocation, but the prevalence was grossly overstated with imaging alone when compared to intraoperative stress testing.

Peroneal Tendon Instability in Calcaneus Fractures: A Commentary.
Like many high-energy bony injuries, a calcaneus fracture is more than just the “fracture.” In this issue of FAI, Vosoughi et al10 provide a large-scale cross-sectional evaluation of peroneal tendon instability in the setting of displaced intra-articular calcaneal fractures. They compared preoperative imaging findings to intraoperative stress testing to quantify the prevalence of peroneal dislocation in one of the largest cohorts to investigate this issue. Similar to previous studies, they noted a significant rate of peroneal tendon dislocations.1,3,7 Despite finding some statistical CT associations, they determined that imaging alone was not sufficient to replace intraoperative stress testing of the peroneal retinaculum stability. As with previous clinical studies, the authors recommend intraoperative stress testing of the peroneal retinaculum to determine stability. There is a lack of studies comparing treatment of acute to chronic peroneal tendon instability, but evidence shows that chronic peroneal dislocation often fails nonoperative management. Acute repair allows for primary repair of the retinaculum, whereas delayed repair of peroneal dislocation often warrants more complex procedures such as fibular groove deepening or tendon rerouting procedures.8 Chronic and recurrent dislocation of the tendons can lead also to tendon tearing, which leads to more challenging repair and reconstruction, or even irreparable tendons.

Lutter, MD (deceased) from 1993-2004; and E. Greer Richardson, MD from 2005-2007. David B. Thordarson, MD, assumed the role of Editor-in-Chief in 2008.
The journal focuses on the following areas of interest:
• Surgery
• Wound care
• Bone healing
• Pain management
• In-office orthotic systems
• Diabetes
• Sports medicine
