Abstract
- An enlarged peroneal tubercle causes lateral ankle and foot pain, and which is a cause for stenosing peroneal tenosynovitis. In this report, we present a case of stenosing tenosynovitis of the peroneus longus tendon associated with hypertrophy of the peroneal tubercle without involvement of the peroneus brevis tendon. Surgical excision of the enlarged peroneal tubercle along with exploration of the peroneal tendons was successful.
