Minimally invasive tenodesis for peroneus longus tendon rupture: A case report and review of literature

Figure 3 Preoperative skin marking of the proximal and distal incisions. A: The proximal incision was 3 cm in length, starting 1.5 cm above the tip of the lateral malleolus and 1 cm posterior to the distal fibula. Distally, a longitudinal incision of 3 cm in length was made parallel to the ground, going backwards from the tip of the base of the fifth metatarsal base. In the distal incision, the distal stump of the remaining peroneal longus tendon was dissected and released at the cuboid groove; B: Due the presence of a hypertrophic peroneal tubercle, a short middle incision of 2 cm was performed for its resection.
