Endoscopic Retrofibular Groove Deepening and Resection of a Low‐Lying Muscle of the Peroneus Brevis for the Management of Intrasheath Subluxation of Peroneal Tendons Associated With a Low‐Lying Peroneus Brevis Muscle

open access: yesArthroscopy Techniques, EarlyView.
Abstract A constricted retrofibular fibro‐osseous tunnel is the cause of intrasheath peroneal tendon subluxation. If it is because of a combination of an abnormal convex or flat retrofibular groove and the presence of a space‐occupying low‐lying muscle belly, endoscopic groove deepening and resection of a low‐lying muscle is a reasonable surgical ...

Medial Patellofemoral and Medial Patellotibial Ligament Reconstruction Using a Docked Rectus Femoris Graft

open access: yesArthroscopy Techniques, EarlyView.
Abstract Recurrent patellar instability may persist after isolated medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction, particularly in cases with instability beyond early knee flexion. Recent evidence has emphasized the role of the medial patellotibial ligament as a secondary stabilizer contributing to patellofemoral stability at higher degrees of flexion ...
