Core Tip

Core Tip: This article used biomechanical and imaging data from the anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction literature to highlight the importance of considering the long-term consequences of donor site morbidity in peroneus longus tendon (PLT) grafting. It discusses the functional role of the PLT in foot and ankle biomechanics, highlights concerns raised by tendon harvesting, and cites studies demonstrating possible tendon regeneration. The article advocates for future research, including gait analysis and long-term follow-up, to ensure safe and effective graft selection.
