ABSTRACT

The objective of this study is to evaluate pain, function and complications after groove deepening with a posterior osteocartilaginous flap as a treatment for peroneal tendon dislocation. We studied 6 patients diagnosed with chronic unilateral peroneal tendon dislocation. We evaluated pain, with the Analog Visual Scale (AVS), and function with the scale of the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS). We applied t Student to the data to identify the p-value which was ‹ 0.05, demonstrating a significant decrease of pain and function improvement after this surgical procedure. We studied as posible postoperative complications skin lesions, infection, wound dehiscence, delayed bone healing, and recurrence, which non of them were found in our simple. In conclusion, the groove deepening with a posterior osteocartilaginous flap as a treatment for peroneal tendon dislocation is a surgical technique that provides a significant decrease of pain and function improvement, without an important complication risk.
