Abstract
dc.description.abstract
Anatomic variants of the peroneal tendons may cause tendon disorders. Moreover, there is a lack of
evidence on how to address chronic tendon pathology when a variant of the peroneal tendons is causing
the patient’s symptoms. We present a patient with an uncommon peroneal muscle presentation: a single
muscular belly dividing into both the peroneus longus and brevis tendons. After extensive debridement
of tendinopathic tissue, primary repair or tenodesis was not possible; therefore a unique solution for this
problem was performed, reconstructing both peroneal tendons using a semitendinosus allograft.
