Reconstruction of Concomitant Ruptures of Peroneus Longus and Brevis Tendons: a Case Report and Literature Review

We describe the case of concomitant rupture of both peroneal tendons in a 50 year old male, diagnosed with Magnetic Resonance Imaging and treated with a flexor digitorum longus tendon transfer. The flexor digitorum longus tendon was mobilized, transferred laterally and anchored to the distal and proximal stubs of the peroneal tendons, acting like a bridge.
