Endoscopic Curettage of Bone Cyst of the Fibular Head

Abstract

Open resection of cystic or other benign intramedullary lesions of the fibular head and neck requires dissection and mobilization of the common peroneal nerve. The purpose of this Technical Note is to describe a minimally invasive approach of fibular head bone endoscopy for resection of a bone cyst or other benign intramedullary lesions of the fibular head and neck. The common peroneal nerve, biceps femoris tendon, and lateral collateral ligament are preserved.
