1993 William J. Stickel Silver Award. Anatomical considerations of the peroneal tubercle

Abstract: Gross discrepancy and error regarding the identification and location of the peroneal tubercle have been found in the literature. Furthermore, the authors found no evidence of a repeatable measurement technique in applicable descriptions of this osteologic landmark. In accordance with interrater reliability procedures, the authors established repeatability of peroneal tubercle measurements. In conjunction with the instrumentation's accuracy and resolution, the investigators infer reliability for these measurem… Show more

“…1). [5][6][7][8][9][10] The peroneal muscles are located in the lateral compartment of the leg, externally to the fibula, and are innervated by the superficial peroneal nerve. The PLm arises from the upper surface of the lateral aspect of the fibula and adjacent muscular septum; the PBm originates from the distal two thirds of the fibular shaft and intermuscular septum.…”

“…The hypertrophied peroneal tubercle can be associated with pes planus, anomalous peroneus quartus muscle, and PL tenosynovitis or rupture. 66,67 Isolated PL tears are less common and, when present, occur more distally in the midfoot. Isolated PL tears may also occur in association with a symptomatic intratendinous accessory ossicle referred to as painful os peroneum syndrome.…”

“…The peroneus longus and peroneus brevis tendons, which function in plantarflexion and eversion of the foot, are separated by the peroneal tubercle (Agarwal et al, 1984;Hofmeister et al, 1996;Hyer et al, 2005;Gill et al, 2014;Shibata et al, 2014). Previous research has suggested that the primary function of the peroneal tubercle is to act as a fulcrum for the peroneus longus tendon, directing it towards the cuboid, but the peroneal tubercle also functions as the insertion site for the inferior peroneal reticulum and separates the sheaths of the peroneus longus and brevis tendons (Berenter and Goldman, 1989;Hofmeister et al, 1996;Ruiz et al, 1993).…”
